Hi,

Im looking for the best half height pci express 16x card for my Dell Optiplex 755 SFF which only supports the half height cards. Also, i need it to be single slot so i can fit a half height audio card in the pci slot next to the express one... are these audio cards made?

Thankyou =]

Does the card need to have the SFF mounting bracket as well as being low profile? What do you want to use the card for & how much are you willing to spend? If you go too powerful, a PSU upgrade *may* be required, plus you *may* have to limit the length of the card. Since you asked for the best, here's a 9600GT for $100 after rebate:

What's wrong with the onboard audio?

Wow Galaxy makes the 9600gt in low profile half height? =]

I'd seen the 9600gt before but i thought it was only dual slot. I want a half height Audio card for my surround sound. Are these cards made?

All you have to do is click on the link & look at the pictures.

"will heat output be an issue"

No, the 275W? power supply is gonna be the issue.
