Was this a clearance item? Wallymart clearance prices are different at each store.

i don't believe you.

It appears to be a low profile case. Does anyone know if this takes full size cards, or only the low profile cards? The pdf's at HP.com were of absolutely no help.

The slimlines only take low profile cards. I have the S3220N and just put in a HIS 3450

Not a bad deal if you can get it, however to run Vista well, you will want to upgrade the RAM.
