Hi,
My son had a new computer for xmas. EI system 214 (PC World). It has a D 356 Processor, 512mb ram and integrated graphics. We want to upgrade the graphics but do not know which type will fit the motherboard or which type to buy. Can anybody please help.

well every website i looked at for the EI system 214 it didnt tell me anything about the motherboard so id say either post a picture of the motherboard but as a quick answer, you could use a PCI Video Card, but id check with the vendor to see if its got PCI-E or AGP slots.

EI doesnt even appear to be a real company, at least google cant find it. Anything that comes up is very general info with no specific info. From the look of the system it probably doesnt have an agp or pci-express16x slot, so dont get your hopes up, cheap pcz like this are not meant for gaming.

i found the company but it was real brief and didnt tell me anything about the mobo, so id say go with a PCI Card from say newegg.com or ebay.com or tigerdirect.com
