Advice in choosing a low profile Video Card
I have a HP Pavilian Slimline s3323W, and i installed this video card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814103047 I want to upgrade it, but i really don't know how to choose a nice card for my system: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 4GB DDR2 800MHz ATI Radeon HD 2400 Series (256MB, PCIe 1.00 x16, SM 4.0) Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 6.00.6001 (Service Pack 1) Thank you very much! |

To be honest with ya, since it's a slimline system, you may not be able to get too much better than that card. Since most cards with reasonable power don't come in a Low-Profile form.
The best [low-profile] card on newegg would probably be an 8500GT. But that isn't even that great. |

Ugh - so very, very few options for low profile :/
Maybe an X1650? Heh, the market leader appears to be Matrox - I had one, once. Had bump-mapping. Then some fool introduced GeForce ^^

Perhaps a 90degree riser card and a decent full-sized vid card?
http://www.ably.com.tw/news/news.asp or http://www.directron.com/rc01.html lots of options for you out there. |
