HP can tell you which ones it can take, if any. 2-replace my DDR3 graphic card with a DDR5 one NO. Small form factor does not fit standard size cards, plus its power supply is lacking. ------------------------- Crosshair IV Formula, Phenom II x4 965 w/ Corsair H60, 8 GiB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600, XFX HD 7970 Ghz, 512GB Vertex 4, 256GB Vector, 240GB Agility 3, Creative X-Fi Titanium w/ Creative Gigaworks S750, SeaSonic X750, HP ZR2440w, Win 7 Ultimate x64
