Right now I have no Graphics Card at all, and I'm in DESPERATE need of a good-un. I'm rocking a HP Pavillion with a 1TB Hard Drive and 4GB of RAM. My budget's around £200 ($250), so what wouild you recommend?

~~I'll sell you this Nvidia TNT2 for $10~~

What interface is it? PCIe? AGP?

What do you mean? How do I find out? What will this affect? Why won't you send me your Nvidia? Why won't my old GeForce 470 work in this machine?

a) get a clue about computer hardware first
b) you HP pavilion may not be made for expansion - it may be too mslal to fit a gfx card, the PSU may be too weak, or it may even have no gfx cars lot at all
c) that riva TNT2 is older than you

check your powersupply if it can handle it, I almost made the mistake in forgetting to do that. I recommend an EVGA GTX 460 or higher.
