Looking for a better Low Profile Video Card :)

Howdy, I'm new here but I figured if I would get the best advice, no better than a computer forum right?

Here's the dilemma: I play World of Warcraft, and I have just bought an XPS 210 with the following specs:

-Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E6420 (4MB L2 cache,2.13GHZ,1066FSB)
-Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition with re-installation CD
-2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 2DIMMs
-320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
-24X CD-RW/ DVD Combo Drive
-19 inch SE198WFP Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
-ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 256MB
-Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
-Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Optical USB Mouse

On the WoW forums there have been people saying it's not a good card (which after looking up I agree) so I was just wondering what a better card would be? It is a PCI-Express x16 slot I believe, I have a PCI-E x1 as well of course. My budget is 150 bucks. Personally I have found an 8400GS but was told it wasn't as good. Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot :)
 
There really aren't many low profile cards out there, nevermind high performing ones. I'm pretty sure you're at the performance ceiling of low profile already.

do you know if it will run WoW decently? the computer i had before this one was 3.0GHz processor, 1 gig ram, Radeon X300/X550/X1050 series 128mb vid card and ran WoW pretty well. I'm trying to compare i guess.
 
the HD2400 will run WoW great. you can run WoW fine with an onboard (on the motherboard) chip. with an HD2400 I'd expect to see maybe a 25-35frames on medium, 15-20 at high settings I believe is what you'd get with your system. for wow, that's decent enough.
