Hi, I recently bought an HP Pavilion p6230f with an ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated video card, is it possible to replace this card with a better one?|||Presumably your computer is a desktop and not a laptop...in which case, yes, you can "replace" the integrated GPU *chipset* (not card).
Given the fact you are listing an HD4200 as your Video Processor, that means your computer has at a minimum of 1 PCI-e x16 2.0 slot.
Buy yourself an HD 5770 - you can find it for about $200 US pricing. It is solidly middle of the road for the Dx11 capable vid cards. Once you've done that, either pay someone to install it, or do it yourself...but if you're not technically inclined...pay someone.
In any case, until you do so, the 4200 should do you as good or better than a mid-range HD 3xxx series card. It'll give you exellent HD video too!
Good Luck!|||Anything integrated is crap.
When you install a graphics card with the proper driver, it cancels out the crap!
Go ahead, but get one worthy of your talents, like get one with 512 Megs of on-board RAM.
You will notice the difference.
;-)|||yes
buy one from newegg
a good one is the ati radeon hd 4850
its about $120
what you do is you out the card in the pci express slot 2.0 inside the ccomputer ( yuoll have to check if it has a pci express 2.0 slot but it is a 90% that it will)|||RTFM...
Read the desktop's User Manual.
If there's a PCIe slot for a Video upgrade, it will be listed there.
