Can I change the video card in a HP Pavillion or does it have to be the same brand ?

My vid card is dead and I was wondering what options do I have to swapping it out. I have a GeForce 7500 LE card from Nvidia. Thanks all in advance|||you can do any card that fits your slot, your case and PSU. Doesn't matter the brand. Find out your card slot is it PCI-E or AGP. Its most likely PCI-E, and your PSU size and go from there. Most HPs are pretty cramped so most long video cards wouldn't fit it. an NVIDIA 8600GT, or 9500GT or ATI RADEON 3650 are a good choice. Many brands make video cards.|||If your motherboard can handle it, thats all that matters.|||no it doesnt there is only two types of video cards "nvidia" and "ati" , but there are many brands that make them.... u get it? but i recommend any nvidia card . u just have to make sure the type of card slot u have on your motherboard. either PCI (old but still popular) , AGP (newer but oldert ;alright) and PCI express (the new and current)|||So long as the new card fits the video slot that's all that really matters. If you only have PCI slots however, I would suggest that you not waste your money. You won't see enough of a difference to be worth the while. Hopefully you have PCI-E X16 or 2.0X16. If you do then you have a lot more options. AGP cards are cheaper (if you have the slot) but they are about as undesirable as a PCI card. But, if it's compatible with your video slot then it will work. And ATI makes decent cards as well, it's like comparing AMD with Intel. They both have good aspects (ATI and NVIDIA) but there isn't really much of a difference except for a bit of performance and a lot of cost. ATI are cheaper and you can usually get just as much out of them as you can a NVIDIA.
