hey guys, first time here.
I've just ordered a costomized pc from HP website (a6560t series).
the specs are:
intel E8400
vista home premium sp1 32bit
2gb memory
on board video (intel3100)
free upgrade to 640 gb 7200rpm
lightscribe 16x maxdvd
spund blaster x-fi xtreme audio
total of 740 includes shipping.
my question is the sales person tells me that the intel on board video can NOT b upgraded and that she also said that there are a external video card via usb.
when i heard this i was flabergested. i dont ever recall somebody saying that the onboard video cant be upgraded with a dedicated card. so my ignorant ass decided to cancel my order. Now has anybody ever heard of such thing?
and finally my whole intention is to watch HD content on pc(netflix bluray and so on).
can anybody recomended me a good video card for this, (BTW, I really dont do any games so i dont need no fancy card such as 8800GT and watever.
thanks guys.
