Hi all,

I'm looking for a low-profile PC graphic card [AGP] for my new 20" ACD. I want to replace the old 64mb nVidia GeForce4 MX440 which worked perfectly with my old 17" CRT. I need a good one to run 3D applications.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Some more information might be helpful... like what type of machine is this going in?

You can find pre-flashed Radeon 9800 Pro's on ebay for a decent price, and they support DVI and Core Video... might be something to look into. Or you can buy a retail version and flash it yourself. You can find the firmware at StrangeDogs, but it's probably a lot easier to pay the extra $40 for a pre-flashed card.

The low-profile card I need is for a P4 2.8GHz HT. The case of my pc is small form factor. The size (height) of the card does matter. Thanks.

Well, the 9800 Pro will fit in a G4 Cube, so I'd think that would make it a 'small form factor' card.

Good luck with your search.
