Default Nvidia 5700le upgrade

im looking to upgrade my junker video card
its a nvidia 5700le 128mb pci
im lookin for something with 256mb or better
and i need it to be agp low profile
i tons of stats on card but i really cant make a decent decision
i wanted a 512mb low profile agp but im unable to find anything like that
everything is pci-e and i dont have that on my board
it has to be agp 4x/8x
im not to picky on the price but i do want something that performs good

Theres also an X1950, a slightly higer rated card. This should fit into your case if thats the issue.

AGP X1950

i looked up both of the cards and the x1650 says low profile but looking at the picture of the card theres no way that would fit
and the x1950 doesnt look like it either

Don't get too hung up on the amount of RAM the video card has. Its not the memory that effects the quality of the product its the GPU (model of the card).

What are the dimensions of your case, that might give us an idea at what sort of size you're looking at.

this is a link to what my comp is
it only takes low profile cards idk what the dimensions are
but it will only fit something like a nvidia5700le with a low profile bracket
does ATI even make low profile cards?
