Will 512mb graphics card work in hpd530sff

[Guest]

Hello,
am looking to put in a pcigraphics card with 520mb into a hp d530sff and wonder if it will work ok

This case is quite small, so I think you should buy a low profile gpu, also what gpu are you planning to buy?

In this case, the amount of memory on the card will not affect whether it will work or not so much as slot type and physical dimentions. If it is half height it should work fine. (Put a piece of tape over the built-in VGA port so you don't forget which one to use.)

RAM is never a guideline of what video card will work where or even how fast it will be.

Case / motherboard constraints, power supply are the main thing you need to look at and list. I've worked with those systems, they are not very speedy, so don't plan on playing many games with it. It also looks like it only has an AGP video card slot, which means you are pretty much stuck with finding something on the used market or probably paying way too much for a new one.

"Removing the AGP Card
A 1.5V low profile Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) card may be
installed in the AGP slot on the system board. To remove the AGP
card from the AGP slot:
1. If you have locked the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer Setup to
unlock the lock.
2. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system,
then turn off any external devices.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect
any external devices.
4. Remove the computer access panel.
5. Locate the AGP card on the system board.
6. Lift up the slot cover retention latch that secures the AGP card"
