How can I find out what the computer has? It isn't with me at the moment.

Im looking at getting - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/119723

or - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145355

PC is a Pakardbell imedia5067(rough number)

I know it looks the exact same as the 5067, I can't find the specs for the graphics card though :(

Can someone help me out, need the answer by 8PM to get ebuyer to deliver for tomorrow.

Thanks

How old is the PC?

If its pre-Vista it's most likely to be AGP.

And PC World do a 7600GS AGP card at £45.

If it is PCI-E, they do a 9500GT at a similar price.

I think it's most likely AGP, but download CPU-Z to check as already mentioned or just open the thing up and have a look what the slot is.

Edit: I see it's not with you so you can't check, but from searching I'm 90% sure it's AGP.

Good suggestion, but he hasnt got his PC with him at the moment.

Seeing as the PC appears to be made in the 2004-2005 era, I'd assume AGP. Your computer should run both the card you suggested, and the one I suggested.

EDIT: Found a thread on a forum, and your machine, if its very similar to the 5067, is an AGP x8. Therefore it will run all AGP cards mentioned in this thread :)
