    Hey everyone,

    I have a HP Pavilion Dv4-2165DX its probably about three years old. It has a 2.1GHz Intel Core i3 M330. I upgraded the ram to 8gb. I opened the covers on the bottom, it has two mPCI express slots and it has one Expresscard. What kind of graphics card can i get? I know i need pcie 2.0 but what about gddr3 vs gddr5 cards what would be the best solution for this laptop?

    card I want to use
