Pros: This card (after a bit of physical trimming) works very well in my Dell OptiPlex 760 Desktop with E8600/3.33GHz and 8Gb RAM. My son can now run stuff like Supreme Commander without any system issues at all. Runs like his Xbox! The card does run hot when loaded but the fan works well and is quiet under normal load (has not sped up during games, is sometimes loud for a short time when the system is booted up). from Newegg.com Pros: Great low profile card....added much needed power to my light duty gaming rig. Now i do the the smack downs and not get pawned......... from Newegg.com Pros: Its perfect for a slimline case if the length is not an issue which it was not for me. I was able to close my case no problem unlike some other so called low-profile cards where i had problems closing my case in the back b/c apparently there is low profile then there is the DELL LOW-PROFILE!For those that got a slimline dell tower this card is perfect fit. I had a aftermarket Power supply 500w already so having enough juice was not a issue for me. from Newegg.com A great card in a low-profile design!!!!! Choices are small when you have a slim case ( HP S3320F ). from Amazon.com Pros: This nVidia graphics card is performing flawlessly so far in my Dell Studio 540s eventhough PSU system requirement for this card is higher than my current PSU(which is currently 300w). It even bump up my vista graphics card score from 5/5.3 to 5.9/5.9(previous graphics card was nvidia geforce 9400GT) Cons: this "Cons" is towards the accesorries that didn't came with the card, NOT on the card itself....6-pin power adapter does not come with the package, but it does stated that "it does not come with the 6-pin power adapter" so you know it in advance...but i think it should have come with one since the card required you to have one(SPARKLE should look into this problem...just add the 6-pin power adapter to this package). Anyways not a big deal though for me , because i bought an adapter with the card and prices for them is pretty cheap($2.99)( item#: N82E16812887001) Other Thoughts: I wish someone would come up with a 1GB/or higher version of this low profile graphics card, but until then this 512MB will have to do. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast!Fan is not all that noisy, surprisingly quietWorks perfectly in Linux with rpmfusion driversPerfect for use with server motherboards that need a PCIe x16 to x8 adapter. Cons: Don't put a full-height card next to it, you'll block the airflow Other Thoughts: My case has plenty of airflowIdle temp is 52C, goes up to 70C when pushed hard from Newegg.com Pros: It's a video card, as advertised. Cons: It's loud. from Newegg.com Pros: This card is the best there is for low profile 9800 series video and it can crank out some killer graphics. On my system it can crank 1000+(max) FPS in ATI tool's "hairy cube" test, while averaging over 915 FPS. from Newegg.com Pros: Well the card fits in the Dell 220S case surprisingly. Cons: HOWEVER - I have a 23" Samsung LCD plugged in via DVI and it randomly goes into standby and will not resume, also it likes to recursively loop scanning for signals - analogue, digital, vice versa etc. from Newegg.com Pros: Fits in low profile cases like (Lian Li PC-C37) but power connector hits support strap. Card is quiet. from Newegg.com
