Have you checked what's integrated with the motherboard?
I'd suggest you do that, first.
According to the HP Prduct specs, your system has a TriGem 2002052 (Glendale) mobo; which doesn't have the AGP Connector.
Please check it out at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?dlc=en&lc=en&cc=us
Please click a dot into into Contact HP and type in your product number in the dialog box there and do next. Asl them and they'll guide you better.
All the best.
Cheers!

Well the hp site says that the 564a has no PCI-E/AGP connector. However there is an integrated graphics chipset which can go up to 48mb which will certainly be insufficient for playing good games. So ur gonna have to buy a PCI graphics card. So go to the following link:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=PCI+graphics+card&x=0&y=0
and choose the best graphics card for you.
Personally I would advise either the Geforce FX5500 256MB PCI by 3D Fuzion or the ATi 9250 DDR PCI Video Card.
You can check out the others but mind you, some of the cards are on PCI-E x16. So check the labels of the cards well.
May the luck of the Gods be with u!

Any computer can use a PCI graphics card.
The PCI-E slot is different (low and long compared to a PCI slot) and all PCI-E cards are compatible.
The AGP slot is the really tricky one because there are different voltage cards and they are NOT compatible in some motherboards so be really careful if you are selecting an AGP card.

Your motherboard only has a standard PCI slot for expanded graphics, I'm afraid. This is fairly clunky, and will probably cost more money to add than the computer is worth. Besides, on that monster, you woln't be able to run anything past maybe Half-Life or CS 1.6. What you want is a new computer, my friend.

convinced which will be very volatile. if you're fortunate you'll merely blow out the video card. yet worst case you ought to finally end up frying the mummy board also. If the fan on the video card is too loud for you seem into get a liquid or passive cooler for it. they are not that a lot and genuinely more cost-effective then a sparkling video card or total mom borad for that count.

was just looking at your comps mother board description at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07813&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&softwareitem=pv-25722-1&product=325139&os=228&lang=en
but am unable to see any AGP slots or PCI-express graphics card slot in that. AM sorry to say but you wont be able to upgrade to a new graphics card unless you change your motherboard. hth
