IDEQ 200N and graphics cards

specinv · 13-01-2006, 03:57 PM

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

You can put any AGP card in there as long as its not a dual slot cooler

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

Yep IDEQ's take a dual slot not problem its the height you have to watch out for so no fancy protruding heatpipes

Thanks for the replys, I was just wondering if the power supply would be upto powering a graphics card as well as everything else.

Yep I ran a radeon 9600xt with a arctic cooler in my 200t
