something like this you mean:

x1600Pro Low Profile

it's the highest spec card i can find that is low-profile but i only did a quick newegg search, maybe someone can find a better card.

IS this one, for sure, the best card?

Also, can i use my DVI monitor with it, or would I have to hook it up analog?

<edit: The manfacturer just told me it comes with a cord to hook up to my dvi monitor>

The price isnt too bad, but is there anything better? I really wouldnt know what to look for!

I pretty much want to know what the best card i can buy (<$200) for my LO PROFILE computer.


Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a Nvidia 5700 LE that i used to play COD2 on. you wont be able to run it in DX9 mode but it works good on DX7 mode. just setting here collecting dust. could ship it out to you for 20 dollars.

Thanks, but the one I listed above is much better. Im willing to pay more for the better card. Thanks again anyhow!

We need a PCI 16x card that the face plate is half the size of a normal card and is around $50, we don't really care if we can't run COD2 in full, just so we can play it.
