    IDEQ 200N and graphics cards

    I've got a Biostar IDEQ 200N and I'm looking to replace the onboard graphics with a dedicated graphics card but I'm not to sure exactly what the machine would be able to handle.

    I play mostly RTS games, no FPS games as they make me sick, so would I be able to put a 6600GT in it or are there other alternatives.

    So if there's anyone out there with this brilliant little machine could you please recommend some cards.

    Thanks

    I may be wrong but iirc the Ideqs can take a dual slot cooler as long as you aren't using the PCI slot
