    I put a new G/C in my HP 8120 Media Center. I am wondering if I can put the card from it into my wifes pc HP 1020N to speed up the graphics.

    well you first need to make sure the cards are both the same interface type. (AGP, PCIe x16) and then if the one you want to replace it with is truly better list the models of the two and somebody will know.

    Unfortunately HP never provided a specifications list for the 8120 like they do for most PCs, so you will have to do this research.

    Yeah, realizing now it's cheaper to buy a new one, rather than trying to find drivers etc. When I put a card in my last one it drew to much power and upgraded the power supply. Don't want that prob again.
