i have a compaq s4100nx and want to upgrade to 512mb ram in each slot and want to include a video card (ATI Radeon 9200 Series DML-1628 AGP Video Card) to be exact and [SUPER TALENT 1GB (2 x 512MB) PC3200 400MHZ DDR DESKTOP] for the ram would these components work?|||***Update ** the two cards I listed first wouldn't work, because they are AGP.
These days, the Radeon 9200 can't be considered an upgrade. It was a weak video card 4-5 years ago, it's worthless for today;s games. It's a fine card for everyday work... web browsing, e-mail, looking at photos and stuff like that. But it's not gonna play Starcraft 2 or anything like that.
For an AGP video card, the minimum card to consider for gaming is a Radeon 3650, although a 4650 is much better for just a little more.

But it seems this is all a moot point. The S4100NX has only PCI expansion slots, there is no AGP slot for adding a graphics card. So you're stuck with a GeForce 8400GS as your best low-cost option. It also has poor gaming performance, but it's better than a Radeon 9200.

The best PCI card you can buy is the GeForce 9500GT, but it's too expensive considering it's still a PCI card and much slower than $40 PCI-Express or AGP cards.
