Pros: Great for small, form factor cases. Includes low profile mounting bracket. Uses ATI Catalyst drivers.
Cons: No DVD playback software included.
I have a Dell GX260. Two problems with standard setup. The built-in graphics suck and the case is too slim to fit a standard AGP add-in board.
Solution - buy a Power Color 9200SE video card. This card was a perfect match for my rig because it includes a low-profile mounting bracket that allows the card to fit in the smallest of spaces. I'm using it with ATI's official 3.10 Catalyst drivers. Running games like Americas Army at 1024*768 with all details turned on and no problems. Also running Vice City, NHL2004, and NOLF 2.
Note, this card is optimized for DirectX 8 so it might not be ideal for newer games like Doom 3 and Half Life 2. The card itself also does not include DVD playback software in the box. However, I'm using it with my own copy of PowerDVD 5 and it runs beautifully.
