Hi,
I have a DELL Dimension C521 (yes the slimline one), with an ATI X1300 Pro graphics card.
Like many others, I didn't realise when I made my purchase that I'd be limited on choice for graphics card upgrades.
My real question is what is the very best 'low profile' graphics card available ?
I purchased an HD 2400 Pro from ebuyer but that turned our to be half the speed of my X1300, despite all the boast about DX10, Shader model 4 and HD ready. My Vista gaming score dropped from 4.2 to 4.0 and other graphics testing utilities showed a significant drop in fps on 3D graphics. So I sent it back.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
regards
