Based on the product specifications provided by Cnet.com, HP 500B has a default integrated graphics processor which has a maximum capacity of 256 megabytes. The graphics processor is Intel GMA X4500 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0.
If you think that there is a problem with the integrated graphics card, you can use an expansion graphics card. This computer has a single PCI Express x16 slot which is intended for graphics cards.
You can purchase a PCI Express x16 graphics card at Amazon.com. Here's the product link:
