Default Need to update my graphics card
I have a Dell Pentium 4 OptiPlex GX240 business class PC (non-upgradable) and the only type of graphics card it (apparently) can take is a half-height low-profile one. I have two extra full-height PCI slots and was wondering if i could put something like an ATi Technologies Radeon 9000 in one of them.

Half-height cards are like gold dust.

You'd be best off biting the bullet and getting a new case.
