PCI Express x1 cards

[Witor]

Having a hard time finding whats available out there that fits into a PCIe x1 (small slot) slot...

Mate of mine has a HP with a pretty good spec (C2D, 4gig ram) but a Geforce 7300LE in a PCIe 1x slot, what could he upgrade (if anything) to?

ps - he doesnt want to change his PC, not that way inclined..

I think Matrox do some PCI-E x1 cards. Not sure if an actual upgrade or not though.

Cheers, those were the only ones I found...not really what's required though

Forgot to mention its specifically to play WoW...

No idea if it's any better than what he's got. But a quick google says it can play wow ok..... with NV's sneaky renaming of everything it can get confusing. I'l leave it up to you to look for benchmarks/suppliers. make sure you get the right slot version..
