Hello,
I have purchased a "low profile card, the graphics board itself fits perfectly into the motherboard however, the metal ports in the back are normal size (like 5 or 6 inches instead of 3.5 inches) it could be cut off to fit and it would lose a vga port (it is possible because I can unplug the port from the card and the card still works) but I was wondering if there was a different model someone else could suggest.
Computer is dell inspiron 531s w/ 250w power supply pcie x16
old card ati hd2400
new card ati hd4550
another interesting anecdote, the card came with a plate that fits the back panel of my slimline... however the back panel of the graphics card (where the ports are) is too big...
