Upgrade compaq cq5600f graphics card

Ha! Not true mouse you joker. Its very hard to recommend anything for you honestly graphic card wise. There are a few things that plague your system. I would say at this point it would be better to bucket upgrade your system. Putting money into a graphics card at this point is a poor value on your part.

CPU: Its a bit dated and slow for a graphics card of this generation
Memory: Your memory is dated DDR2 and you only have 2 gigabytes

An x16 slot will support any card on the market today and as the OP failed to give any more information my answer is valid.

Haha you are to right mouse. I knew what you were doing honestly. You need to supply more information for others to help you. Look at it from this stand point its like asking someone to make a pb and j sandwich with no instructions and no knowledge of what one is.

Your processor is acceptable for a higher gpu something like a 7850 perhaps however you would need to change your power supply you only have a 250w unit.
