You need to know what slots you have on the motherboard, then you know what cards you can get.

If you have no clue what your doing, you could send me the model number of the PC

or the motherboard, and ill tell you what cards you can get.

If you click on my user name you can leave me a message, but I can only respond

if you sign up.

You need to look at your manual, or the website of your PC, so you can see

the expansion slots.

It might look like this,

2- pci-e 8x

2 - pci

The cards must match the slot.

Now, this is important, depends on what chipset you have depends on which card

processor you can run. There are NVIDA, and ATI, so it depends on what the chipset

is made to work with. To get the best graphics out of the system.

Is a physics processing unit the same as a graphics card?

No. However they do help it other out. If for instance you were playing Half Life 2 and you knocked an object over. Instead of the graphics card having to work out the image of the object falling over and the physics of how it would fall, the physics card shares the work (the physics bit) allowing you graphics card to concentrate on graphics. The idea is that the combination of the two will speed your your system/make gameplay smoother
