Most modern computers nowadays have at least one PCI-Express x16 slot, for a dedicated graphics card. But what about older computers or cheap OEM systems, which only have a PCI-E x1 slot? Up until now, the only way to upgrade the built-in graphics was to buy a new system, or at least a new motherboard (for much older computers, this often involves buying a new processor, and possibly new memory). The HIS HD5450 Silence from HIS is a card that can help, as it is an HD5450 card using just a PCI-E x1 connector. With features like DX11, Eyefinity, and the ability to offload the CPU when decoding HD video, it should help breathe a bit more life into an old system.
