Hi I need some help I have recently built a low profile media centre, which works great but the onboard intel graphics will not run at the native res of my screen which is 1366 x 768. I have looked this up and found there is not a way to change this so I need to get a PCI-E low profile graphics card that is passive (Silent) that runs at 1366 x 768) which I am finding difficult. I thought you guys were the best people to ask as you deal with low media centres.

Thanks for the help and also if u could recommend a cheap DVI to HDMI cable that would be nice.

You should be able to run 1360x768, then set your TV to non-stretch mode. With other cards you'll need to mess around with powerstrip (ATI) or use custom resolution (Nvidia)

As for DVI-HDMI cable I picked up one of these, auction ID 170062955806

Yeah I messed around with power strip but found out that the Intel on board graphics chip I have just does not do that res it apparently has what resolutions it can do are hard wired in????
