and lets say that i dont know which one i have..... then how do i find out? i have an HP media center......

there is always a reason why things go on sale. first they go on sale, then they get sent to ross/tj max/burlington. that is clothes though. i would go with the x700 though.

That computer has PCI-Express. You sure that's the closest model to yours?

Well the model in that link is PCI-Express. I'm 100% sure. But is that the closest model to yours? What model do you have, exactly?

You have two options if you want to be sure you are buying the correct card.

1. Find the model name of the computer
2. Open it up

Otherwise, there is an element of guessing. You are opening the thing up to swap the card, why dont you jsut open it now, and put it back tegether when you put the new card in?
