It's more of a value, bang-for-your-buck thing IMHO. You can find x16 GT610 or HD5450 cards on sale for $20. Why spend $50+ on a x1 GT610 just to conform to the x1 slot on the J1800/J1900 board? IMHO, use the integrated GPU of the J1800/J1900 or take the $30 difference between an x1 and x16 card and get something else like the cheapest Celeron CPU + motherboard.
