I have a Dell E510 which has the PCI e slot. I found out I can't take the duel slot fat video cards. I bought a 9800 GTX and it won't fit. I want the best single slot I can buy. I play a ton of EQ and EQII.

Let me know your opinion, thanks.

I just picked up an xfx 9800 gt for the same reasons. A dual slot won't work for me. I don't think there's much of a difference between the gt and gtx. the gt is really nice and is a big step up from the 8600gt I was using.

So the 9800 GT is a Low Profile Card then? Also, does it require two 6-pin power plugs or one?

Single slot is way different than low profile. If you need a low profile card (there are no really good ones for gaming). Get a new Case, and PSU.

Case: Antec 300 (cost $50 on Newegg)
PSU: Antec Basiq 500W ($50 on Newegg as well)

after these, you can use almost any gfx card manufactured (length of the card may be a factor tho).

The 9800 GT uses one connector and there is several companies making single-slot cards, but availability will vary according to your location so it`s time to get the search engine working.
Also, what resolution do you play at, and what PSU do you have?
