Cant find the right card!!

[7blades]

Hey everyone,
im fixing my friends HP Pavilion s3000 also known as a Slimline s3140.

The problem is trying to find an apropriate graphics card. Ive just found out that its a Nvidia Geforce G100 which is an OEM, so i cant buy it seperatly, or have it fixed under warranty because its just ran out a month ago.
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/product_geforce_g_100_uk.html

The motherboard is a Mini ATX and the case is very small and thin. The card itself if measured from the motherboard is about 7-8cm or so.

Does anyone know of a similar Graphics card or where can i get the same one from? The MB doesnt matter, but the friend wants it replaced rather than using the onboard graphics.

Any help would be much appreciated!

What you want is a low profile card. Does he plan on gaming?

a low profile radeon 4650 will be perfect for him

nah she doesnt plan on gaming. her husband may do, im not sure though. does newegg deliver to the UK?

 

[jyjjy]

They don't.
I don't know much about where to order stuff in the UK but really any low profile card should do if gaming isn't an issue. For a moderately capable gaming card you should look for an HD4650.

 

[7blades]

ok will do, is the HD4650 a good card overall then? Or just a card that will fit and work lol

 

[jyjjy]

It should be great for non-gaming purposes. It's fairly new and quite small and power efficient. For gaming it should be ok at low resolutions.

just been looking about on various websites about that card, and unforunatly i dont think its going to fit inside the case. I need a low profile card from what you previously told me. Any you know about recommending?

bump

 

[jyjjy]

The reason I recommended it is that there are low profile versions of the card;

Unfortunately newegg doesn't sell overseas. Perhaps someone else can point you towards someplace that stocks such on your side of the ocean.

There are low profile 4770s?
I haven't seen any...

 

[7blades]

thanks jyjjy ive seen a few low profile 4650s now, but sorry i have another question. the low profile one ive found is a pci-e 2.0 x16, the computer uses a pci-e 2.0, will this be compatible?

also i couldnt find any 4770s that were low profile lol

 

[jyjjy]

It does have a x16 slot according to this;
