2. You can buy this card at tigerdirect.com - do a search for 'HIS PCIx1' in the search box. Browsing to the video card section does not show it

Nout comes up?
And, ive just noticed, that its a US store. No use to me, as im in the UK.
The 'UK Customers' link just sends me to Misco.

You can also out it in the spare 16x slot if it doesn't fit.

Hello,

could you tell whether vga card has low profile included? If I'm asking my distributors they tell me this option is not a part of a package.

Thnx.

Of course I meant a low profile bracket .

The card I ordered from Tiger Direct DID have a low profile bracket included. I wish it was 2 seperate brackets instead of the the 2-slot one. I ended up using a low profile card bracket I bought seperately to make it fit in my compaq. I also used the included DVI to VGA adapter because the VGA cable on the card isn't long enough to stretch over the the right side of the card into the next bracket for mounting. I think most people will not have this problem though as the compaq's board is odd.

Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap VGA heatsink set (I grabbed one for $15 and it had 8 memory sinks and a copper GPU fan/sink combo) for the card. The card has great overclocking abilities. Even if you don't plan on overclocking, the chips get pretty warm.

Wow I got the card in April 2007 and still have it in a tertiarty desktop. It was an under performer at birth, but I took it out for some reason and the intel onboard 900 something was even much worse. It is in a Dell X310 no X16 slot. I almost got the HIS ATI 1550 which might have been better, and should have gotten the Dell X510 or something initially which has an X16 slot. What I do to myself to save a few buck! Thanks however!

Seems even now people have problems with Dell servers and no X16 and cannot disallow onboard graphics, but most rave about this CARD, which is at NEWegg and Tiger Direct etc,maybe someplace in the UK too!
