It depends on what you are looking for ...
even 1 Go Memory is enough if you will only watch videos, but, we will not necessarily see any difference between your embedded card and the new one unless you watch HD Videos
I Guess you already ordered a card so it may be too late, but I would advice a G520 funless which is more than enough for videos and support Full HD video and HD Audio streaming

I bought a low profile pci-e x16 ati 5450 1 gig graphics card but when I plug it in to the slot and I turn on the computer the fans just spin like mad and I get no signal to the screens, any idea what it could be

[Cod3waX]

Did u plugin a 6 pin power cable to the card? or power the card?

Or

It sounds like its overheated at some point and killed itself

[12345guy12345]

This card was brand new off flee bay,it had no power adapter in the box and I assumed that means plug and play,after a bit off reading I think I might need a 512mb card graphics card or It could be a broken pci-e slot or like you say overheated

Remember you may need a new PSU with 500+ watts if your installing a new GFX card with a 6 pin power.
