Choppy sound and video

Expansion Slots: 1 PCI Express x 16 slot (@x4)
3 PCI slots

Just one PCI Express slot. That is normal. Don't worry.

Not concerned about the height, but the power consumption of the card. The one above is fine for the machine.

The satellite card is in the express slot, I fitted this so I presume I could move it to one of the other slots to free up the express

Erm....no. It's one or the other. So you are a bit stuck.

If the Satellite card is in the Express Slot, it won't fit into a normal PCI slot.

PCI is sloooow. Read here

If you go for that particular card, I think this may be the latest 32bit Driver. Don't hold me to that though. You can check the AMD/ATI website for the latest.
The ASUS Driver included may be a bit old.

A slightly better option may be this Asus GeForce GT 610 for £25.98.

The HD5450 is cheaper here £19.98

The ASUS version in post #7 a little cheaper here

I think your problem might be due to the fact that you are up to date with Flash player. I had similar problems a few months back and reverted to 10.3.

You might want to try to step back version by version until you find one that works for you.

How to revert ..

I have a similar problem with my six year old SoltekQbic desktop. It's not a download speed problem as my average is around 39Mbps.
