Can the Foxconn MCP73M01H1 (Napa) support the GTX 550Ti graphics card.
The unit is an HP P7-1017c desktop, Dual CPU 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB DDR Ram, 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.

Your Motherboard has 1 PCie x16 slot so you can plug in a GTX 550Ti. However, the PCIe slot in the mobo is very likely NOT a PCie 2.0 compatible slot. Therefore, you may not be able to get the GTX 550Ti to work. Sometimes there is a BIOS update available to make the slot work with PCIe 2.0 devices but it will still operate at PCIe 1.0 Speeds. I checked the HP website but did not see any BIOS updates that addressed a PCIe compatibility issue for your mobo.

You can get more info about your MOBO here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01357119&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=3825393 ( not the same computer but same mobo).
