ok so i wasn't paying attention when i ordered my dell off ebay. i realized that it was a business computer with small form factor and a 210w power supply . Its the gx280 but upgraded to have 250g hardrive and 3g ram. Right now i'm just running on the Intel integrated graphics GMA 900. Games run absolutely terrible, only cs 1.6 is acceptable. its a 3ghz pentium 4 HT, so i figure i need a new graphics card to play games such as cs source and bf2. not a super great card but just something that will work (specificaly on a 210w power supply and it needs to be Low profile). So far i think my best option is the VisionTek VTK X1300256PCI-SFF Radeon X1300 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Low Profile Video Card. it recommended a power supply of 250w. do you think this will work in my computer??? ( and yes i have pci express port, amazingly).
i also found this. it looks like a good bet, not only because the price, but its also fanless= less power consumption. The only problem is i don't know if the case cooling would be good enough, considering there is very little convection. what do you think?
and does anyone know if this one is 128bit
