    Really a novice, but I believe you need a newer Pci express type card to be able to upgrade.

    Someone else know?

    No you could do it with AGP, but unfortunately for this case...

    #1: As far as I can see, the zd7000 is discontinued, which means no upgrades or anything else will be made for it, and that leads to

    #2: The zd7000 doesn't support anything more than the Go5700, and like how I said no upgrades would be out, that means you are stuck at the highest you can go.
