Best Low profile video card for my pc?

I have a Dell optiplex GX 620.


Specs are: Intel Pentium 4 / 1Gi of ram / Windows Xp pro.


Since its a slim design Pc I am looking for a low profile video card, even better if it comes with the low profile bracket(s). I am looking to spend between $75-$120


If you can suggest a good low pro card it would be very helpful, thanks.

This actually depends o the type of slot that's available on your motherboard. After some searches I found that most of them have a PCI-E slot so you could probably actually go with a higher end budget card like the Nvidia 8600. The only concern here is whether or not you actually have enough space in your computer to house this card with enough airflow to keep it cool.





What I recommend is going on newegg.com and looking at cards from Nvidia's 7000 and 8000 series and checking the dimensions of each card under the specifications tab. Once you find one that will fit be sure to buy a PCI slot fan to go along with it. The PCI slot fan will be set under your video card and pull out a good amount of hot air to keep your system cool.
Reply:I am afraid only ATI Radeon makes these slim cards that can fit inside those Shuttle cases and/or those Hi-Fi media center look-alike boxes (square-flat)


The fastest methinks is the x700 but I mite be wrong.


I am certain that there are 9250s because I have fitted some myself.
