Hi everyone!
I have an old Dell Optiplex GX520 SFF and i'm planning to use it as a media centre pc as its just lying around in my room. Unfortunatly the computer is only using intergrated graphics and it's not powerful enough for running at a 1280x800 resoloution through VGA so i'm looking for a new Graphics Card for it.

Specs:
Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
1GB Ram
40GB Hard Drive
Windows XP

I live in the UK by the way, don't tell me to buy a new computer as i don't watch films that often. And they are usually only in 720p max.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Being on the other side of the pond, I can't easily search your online stores for what you need. Looking at your system specs, it appears you only have two PCI expansion slots (note: PCI and not PCI-E). You should confirm this, but if true, you're looking for a low profile PCI card; preferably with HDMI output. Here in the States, that only one of two cards, the Radeon HD5450 Low-Profile or the Geforce GT610 Low-Profile.
