Video Card for E510
Ill keep this short unless more info is needed. Basically, I have an E510 that is really old, but just humming right along. I REALLY dont want to replace it. I would love to be able to watch some of the HD clips Ive been taking with my HD camera. Currently I have the stock Radeon x300. 2 questions
1) WIll a better video allow me to play HD clips (right now, I get 1 still video image and clean sound)
2) If so, what is the best card I can get for this machine that doesnt require additional power and wont max out the machine.
thanks

You can add home theater PC-quality video and audio to your E510 for $40.
If your existing power supply is in good working order, no update is necessary, although an 80 Plus replacement unit will generate less heat, consume less power and emit less noise.

The 6570 is a little more powerful and a little more expensive. The 7750 is the best you can use with a stock power supply
