I searched through the Google Groups for a more appropriate group in
which to post this message, but this is perhaps the closest group
that
I could find that could probably help:

I have a Compaq Presario machine, model number SR1010NX, and I need a
video card. I went to "Tiger Direct," thinking that any video card
should work when I got the card, I was faced with the problem that
it
did not fit. Can anyone tell me what kind of video card is required
for this computer -- one that will fit in one of the lower slots? The
reason I need a card is that the video output (the normal output
slot)
has been damaged beyond repair the outside covering has been removed
or "jarred off," and therefore, left only with pins, there is no
means
of using this port. Therefore, I am left with the possibility of
using
one of the lower slots. When I received the card from Tiger Direct (I
chose the cheapest there available, as it stated that this card would
work with "most computers"), I saw that the configuration was exactly
backwards the slot that is between the set of pins is in the reverse
order, and therefore this card does not fit.


If anyone knows how I can ascertain which card will fit one of the
lower slots, please either leave a message on this group, or, better
yet, you can feel free to e-mail me at mea...@cox.net.


Thanks,


Mark
 
Hi,

According to:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00066477&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=403786#N407
your system has only PCI slots available. Do not confuse these with PCIe,
which is a newer standard.

Tiger Direct still has several models available:
