That computer has one pci-e slot. This means that we're in business and that you're lucky. First off: budget. What is this card for? Gaming?>how intense, what games? I would think that decent pci-e card is good enough for you.

Can you post a picture of the inside so we can make sure?

What are the rest of the specs on the puter and what is your budget?

Buy the HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC and other Desktop Computers at circuitcity.com

Yes, your computer can be upgraded with a new video card. But we need to know your budget.

I can spend up to $200. I really don't do much gaming at all. I just want to be able to watch dvds better and i was thinking about buying Battlefield 2. Also do you think i should add another stick of 1gb ram? Give me a second and then i will post a pic.

You could get an EVGA 7600GT for about $90 dollars on Newegg. Battlefield would run fine with a 7600GT. I haven't exactly tried it yet but my friend has a 6600GT so it could be a comparison for how the 7600GT would run on BF2.

I would recommend this:
Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N761-AR GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Comes with Free copy of Quake Wars too
