    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

    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
