Does anyone know if my computer's video card can be replaced or expanded?

My computer is an HP Pavilion P6213w-B Desktop PC with Intel Pentium Processor, the video card is an Intel GMA 3100, it says the DAC type is Internal.



Does anybody know if I can replace or add a new video card? This one isn't cutting it but I've bad luck in the past with having unknowingly bought computers with little to no upgrade space.|||I'm almost 100% sure you can just add a PCI-E Video card to your system, Desktop Systems always have the option for an Upgrade.



You cant replace the existing card since it is Integrated but once you install the new one, the existing one will automatically be disabled. Just remember you will have to connect your monitor to the new card instead or the existing one, or else you wont see anything on the monitor



Hope this hepls|||Yes, you can add a 3rd party GPU. PCI-E is pretty much standard these days.



Just confirm the power requirements for whatever GPU you are going to purchase along with confirmation of what PSU wattage you currently have in the system



Something you may want to replace regardless.|||The video card currently in your computer is integrated but can be upgraded.You can purchase a video card and install it.
