Hello all,

I am currently using an eMachines EL1358-G-51W and would like to set up dual monitors. This computer is used for work only, so i will not need anything fancy. I was wondering if i would be able to add another graphics card without having to upgrade the power supply? There isn't much room for a low profile card, let alone a bigger psu. If this will be possible, could anyone recommend an inexpensive card to use?

i think they will help you
 
Thanks for the quick reply! The only problem i see with the GPU is that it will not fit into my case. I only have about a 3 inch wide and a couple inches of depth to work with. I would need a Low Profile Graphics card. Any other possible suggestions?
