Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of the Specs of the OEM R7 240 that come in the HP 500 Series Computers? I Ask because I posted a ad on Kijiji that I'm looking for a 7750 or R7 240 or some other low wattage GPU my brother could use to play WoW (World of Warcraft) as his Intel IGPU (Intel GMA 3100 Series/G33 Express Chipset) won't be supported anymore (Had a thread started here for recommendations, the 7750-7770 /R7 240-R7 250 is what was recommended, chose to go for 7750/R4 240 to be safe: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2045633/cheap-budget-gpu-wow-comp.html)
here's a link to the ad I posted with specs for my brothers computer: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-computer-components/kitchener-waterloo/ati-radeon-hd-7750-or-r7-240/584392514

Reply 1, April 17th ) Recommended that I get a 450+W PSU before installing any new hardware
2, May 1st) Someone upgraded to a R9 290X and Offered a Sapphire 7850 2GB with no price Given, was told it was a step up from what I'm looking for and was barely enough to run crysis 3 on Medium and I don't want to go any lower, bought June 2013 and never used in mining so not beat up (replied and offered $40-80 so the other $20-60 could go for a PSU Upgrade unless he had a PSU he could bundle with it for $100, No Reply Back.
3, May 3rd) Mint Condition MSI 7770, played WoW at max graphics, worked perfectly, $85 (replied and offered $35-80 so the other $20-65 could go for a PSU Upgrade unless he had a PSU he could bundle with it for $100, he replied and said he had to upgrade his PSU also so he had a 450W Antaec to bundle with it, price at first was $110 then he dropped it to $100, told my brother about it but didn't have cash at the time so it was a no go)
4, May 8th) someone offered a 6850, no price given, was told not better than the 7750 but a bit better than the R7 240, on his machine he could run TF2, Warframe and Bioshock Infinite no problems, used but quality card, would sell for really cheap price, replied and asked what he was asking for the card and if he had a PSU to Bundle with it, he replied back and said $70-80 for the card, he's checking with a friend to see if he could get a PSU, if so then $70 for card and around $15-20 for the PSU, replied and told him that when he finds a PSU to let me know the make and model of it along with asking size and type of memory on the card, he replied and said it's a Sapphire and he'd check followed by saying he couldn't find a PSU and wanted to know if i was still interested in the card, replied and said a PSU would be needed and I could only offer $30-40 in order to afford a PSU powerful enough, he couldn't go that low and offered to hold it for me, no go.

5. July 25th/Yesterday) New R7 240 pulled from a Brand new Computer, could sell for $60, they sell for around $90-100 at Future Shop, got DVI and HDMI at the back, I Replied and asked if he had pictures of the card and detailed specs, he sent me 2 Pics:
and he said info is on Future shop or Best Buy site and is the one installed on several HP 500 Series Computers he just bought and could show the recipt. so i'm making this thread to find more info about this HP OEM R7 240
I checked the Canadian Future Shop site for R7 240, only results that apply is a Sapphire with 2GB DDR3 for $109+Tax and a Diamond R7 240 OC with 2GB DDR3 for $110+Tax with 2 slightly different HP Pavilion 500 Desktops with the R7 240 in them, according to the overview for 1 of the computers it's 2GB DDR3 while the Details and specs show 5504 MB Video Memory. anyone got any more info?
any recommendations on what card to get? PC Specs are:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz, 8MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB
Intel G33 Express Chipset
3GB RAM (2x 1GB, 2x 512MB DDR2 PC2-5300)
400GB SATA 7200RPM HDD
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
up to 287MB Total Available Graphics Memory as allocated by Windows Vista
20.1" Monitor
5ms Response time
1680x1050 @ 60 Hz Max Resolution
DVI-D and 15 Pin D-sub VGA Inputs
Bestec ATX-300-12z 300W Power Supply
Budget my brother gave me for a GPU Upgrade is $100 after tax before warlords of draynor expansion comes out (Fall 2014-December 20th 2014?), Mainly Plays WoW but also got some older Games that his current computer can handle As-Is
