Hello all,
I recently bought a what I believe is called a ''slim'' desktop. It is older hardware and nothing too special but it does what I need it to do without any issues. Only thing is it is currently using on-board graphics specifically an Intel 865G chip. It doesn't support Windows Aero and occasionally reduces the quality of my Netflix streaming.
I just opened it up and was looking at how the graphics installation would go. There is a picture below of what I saw. There is 5 1/2 inches clearance from the top of the PCI slot to the PSU, and there is almost 8 inches of length in the other direction. I doubt I need anything that big but I checked anyways.
Simply, what is the cheapest option I have for a PCI Graphics Card (used of course) that will support Aero and work a little better than what I have?
