Requirements being half height cards with low profile brackets.
The use will be in a htpc, used for internet, DVD playback, DVB-TV recording. no gaming.

Please can you grade them 1-4 with one being the best choice.
I'm assuming from a n00b point of view:
256MB GeForce 8500GT PCI-E w/LP RETAIL - best but is it over kill for my needs?
256MB GeForce 8400GS PCI-E w/LP RETAIL
256MB GeForce 7300LE PCI-E w/LP RETAIL
128MB RADEON HD 2400PRO PCI-E w/LP RETAIL

Thanks
