the HP Compaq dc5700 has no actual graphics interface,in simple terms there is no avalible slot for adding a graphic card which is unusual,even if theres no pci-express x16 slot theres normally the older agpx8 slot,however in this instance theres only the standard pci slots used for soundcards and n.i.c(network interface cards) and a few pci-express x1 slots which dont support graphic cards as they are only a inch long and used for modems and some soundcards
your only otpion is to use one of the few standard pci graphic cards,these are limited and the fastest avalible is the geforce 6200,however these are difficult to find,however another decent pci card is the geforce fx5200(http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=560366... has limited features however it will support windows vista since it supports pixel and shader model 2.0
in reflection the hp compaq dc5700 is a business pc and when designed had no need for a graphics expansion slot(i had a compaq deskpro en many years ago and that had no pci-express or agp slot)
so a pci graphics card is your only option and as allready mentioned your best choices are the fx5200 or the geforce 6200
DDR2 is a Memory Specification ... Not a Graphics card Specification.
Now, you should contact HP regarding the same. It seems the Computer is not available for sale anymore and is discontinued by HP. Please refer to the following link and you should get the information regarding your computer. Please contact HP Before installing any graphics card or Memory! They would advice you best according to your requirement.
you are talking about 2 different things. graphics cards or memroy?ddr2 is a memory format, not a graphics card. If its a graphics card, you need to get a half height one since the footprint of the machine is smaller..../
