    Packard Bell - Graphics upgrade?

    My friend has just been given a Packard Bell iMedia 1427 and this comes with integrated graphics. He can play Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War, but not Half Life 2. I just need to know whether this system has an AGP slot or a PCI Express slot or no graphics upgrade options. I can then go through the options with him. I can not find the necessary information after a good half hour of googling. Can anyone help me with this?

    The friend happens to be quite far away, so that really is not an option. He would not feel comfortable with doing that himself either.

    well tbh i think taking the side off a computer will do wonders for him..may even get him interested in comps

    if it were my friend i would take him through step by step how to do it, and hopefully both get something out of it.


    in the meantime try searching ebay for your model number, it may say there

    or find out which motherboard it has
