Unless the system has been physically castrated of a PCI-E 16x slot, the nForce 430 chipset has support for such a slot. That combined with the PSU the system probably has, you're looking at a PCI-Express graphics card with a power consumption below 55W. This includes

GeForce 8600GT
GeForce 7600GT
Radeon HD 2600XT
and a few others

could you tell us the exact model number of your HP?
