Can I add a video to the IQ524 and is the maximum of 4 GB or 8 GB memory card?

I just bought a refurb HP TouchSmart IQ524 and naturally the biggest bottleneck is the shared graphics memory. I noticed that the specs say the system has PCI-e ports somewhere, then that means I can put in a separate of a certain type in there video card? There are instructions for upgrading the memory and hard drive, but nothing on adding a video card.

Also, I've seen conflicting information on the system supports a maximum of 4 GB (which is already) or 8 GB, which would be supported under the 64 bit version of Windows 7, I installed.

Thanks for the help.

Upgrading the video card is very difficult, but possible. Use a MXM card and it fits into the slot on the top of the Board next to the vent. Keep it cool if you want to spend with her! There are like a billion live to open and access - but if you are very careful and keep track where everything goes - it is possible.

Memory max is 8.
