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?
