FYI you can get displayport to dvi adapters on the cheap from newegg

I'll check my slots, power, etc. on my email box at the office. We do some high end graphics on that and the onboard gpu is slow.

I need one x16 slot?
Is this "double thick" or single?
What do I need for power connector(s)?

1, x16 slot... not double-wide. Single wide.
Your PSU needs one standard 6-pin PCIE supplemental power connector, as should be found on any modern PSU of 350W, or more... however if yours doesn't have one, you can use a Molex/SATA-to-6-pin converter.

Is that GPU a mobo onboard video chip or one of the newer CPUs with video function?

Hmmm...you had to ask a hard question. I'm not sure. I stopped by the office today for about 2 hours but never got the box open. It's a HP/ Sam's Club AMD quad core somethingoranother. I bought several of them last year for workstations. I'll see if I can figure it out tomorrow.

So if it's embedded in the CPU I'm out of luck?

If the video is in the CPU, then you are NOT out of luck... if you have onboard video capability, that would be preferred.

You'd said the machine was for "limited use". A budget computer would be just fine for that... but they typically come with only about 250W PSU and have a video chip mounted on the mobo to avoid the cost of buying a dedicated video card.

That said, I once had a conversation about the Dell Vostro.. an el-cheapo with only 200W PSU.. The guy I was talking to said he'd swapped out the PSU for a 600W model and was able to run a gaming card OK.

You could look up the specs with the model name, or tell me the model name and I'll look it up.
