HP DC7700 info

Guys

I have a dc7700 and looking at upgrading it a bit from it's current spec. After I've upgraded the hard drives and RAM, I'd like a better GFX card.

The spec of the PC says the following for expansion slow:

2 low-profile PCI, 1 low-profile PCI Express x1, 1 low-profile PCI Express x16, 2 full-height PCI available via optional riser card, HP 16-in-1 Media Reader

So what kind of GFX card can I get? I suspect there is hardly any room for a big 'un.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I seem to remember Easyrider posting a pic of a low-profile PCIe card, I think it was only something like a 2600XT though.

The trouble with that computer is that the PCI slots have the option of a riser but don't take any good gaming cards anymore (and would perform dire if they did), and the PCIe slots (which can take a gaming card) can only take half-height.

I'm not wanting anything special just a bit better than the on board graphics (if possible!)
