I have a HP Pavilion s5610f Slimline Desktop with:

H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX Motherboard

AMD Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core 3.0GHZ Processor

3GBs of RAM (Non-ECC memory) holding two DDR3 DIMM (240-pin) sockets with:

PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066) (1GB)

PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) (2GB) (Memory can be expanded to 8GBs maximum)

64bit Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled (OEM)

ATI Radeon 3000 Integrated Graphics

640GB Hard Drive SATA 7200RPM

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card being its integrated? My Google-Fu hasn't been of much help finding answers specific to my model.

Please note: IM NOT A HARDCORE GAMER! The card in my laptop is an Intel HD graphics unit (don't know type and number), and some say its better than the ATI Radeon 3000 in this HP got. Mainly, I'm looking for something that can handle video conversion for Freemake video converter and my video editing software (Sony Vegas pro 11).

No. It has no x16 PCIe slot whatsoever. You would need to upgrade the motherboard as well which you could do no problem. Probably looking at around 150 bucks for a board and decent GPU capable of doing what you want. Maybe not that much. For a low end board with a x16 slot and an R7 240 you're probably looking at around 110 to 120 bucks. Most video and rendering applications rely much more on the CPU than they do on the GPU though. I've got a private investigator friend that runs both those applications on integrated graphics, although his iGPU might be more advanced than yours.
