Low profile Graphics cards

[Finn]

Does anybody have any suggestions regarding low profile graphics cards?

I have a XPS 210 Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6600 with a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000, and I am looking for a quality graphics card that is compatible to my system.

How do mean low profile? Do you mean a single slot card?

Edit:

Ok I've looked at the Dell website to find out more info on your system and the top card they have is the ATI X1300 Pro which looks like this

Expansion Slots
1 half-height PCIe x1
1 half-height PCIe x16 (Graphics)

Chassis
275 Watt DC Power Supply

* Voltage: 200 to 240 V and 100 to 120 V at 50/60 Hz

Not good I'm afaird, 1/2 height PCIe slots.........ouch your options are limted. These systems are designed for graphics designers and audio producers in mind not gammers. We have these slim line case at work and you can't find a standard PCie card in them there to small.

The dell xps 210 has a slim case design, hence I need a need a low profile video card (16X PCI-Express)

Well I'm pretty sure dell were offering the best ones on there website, that being the X1300 Pro. I'll be honest don't expect to any gaming on this, I'm running a X1650 Pro right now and that will struggle with all new games. Your only option is a new system which seems a waste since your computer is quite new.

The nVidia Quadro NVS cards are all low profile - and passively cooled too. While you won't get top-line performance from them, it should easily improve on your current gpu. Might be worth looking into anyway.

8400gs
2400pro

These are probably the best you can do and neither are very good

The other option is to wait and see if the HD3450 is worth purchasing because it is also supposed to be low profile.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Theses cards should do the trick for me, because I basically only play RTW mods and will probably give MTWII a shot when I upgrade my card, so as long as I can play theses type of RTS games on decent settings I'll be happy.

I doubt either of these cards will allow you to play mtwII on decent settings.

I suppose I'll buy the best there's available and let everyone know how MTWII performed on my pc.
