Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I need help finding a suitable graphics card but it needs to meet some specifications. My uncle has an old computer (an IDEQ 220t) which is an SFF. His power supply is 250w and there's no power supply more powerful that will fit his case (checked with the manufacturers "Biostar").
He's just got Windows 7 but Aero doesn't work because of his old on-board graphics chip. Naturally he wants a new card and he's asked me to help but i need some serious help of my own and i hope you can help (that's a lot of "helps")!
Here's the GPU i need help finding:
* It needs to use no more than a 250w PSU in order to run
* It need to be Windows 7 compatible and run Aero (so also needs to be at least DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher)
* Must be compatible with Intel MB chipsets
* Preferably 512MB but 256MB if the higher is not possible.
* Can't be physically too big because of the small case size (case port is normal size as far as i know so doesn't need to be low-profile)
* MUST be PCI....NOT PCI-E.
Please help if you can, I'd appreciate it!
