    You've got a PCI-e slot for your video card. You can put whatever you want in there. What is your budget? I assume you really don't want the best card. They're $500.

    I'd go for a Radeon HD 4850.

    Yep. HD 4850 would be a great choice.

    Have you read our $600 PC guide? You might get some sweet ideas about what you could do for your next system.

    I would have to point out that the machine in question likely has a very modest power supply of dubious quality. That to me would be the limiting factor here.

    Im with you on that the PSU is only 450

    The 450W in the $600 box is solid. I believe Mt_Goat is referring to the power supply in your rig hopkins121. OEM units are usually pretty cheap and underpowered.

    Then I would recommend an ATI HD4850 or NVidia 9800GT without reservation! For folding the 9800GT will outperform the ATI card by a good 39% with the CUDA beta drivers!
