Works in low profile Dell
Reviewed by Paul. Review Posted 29/11/2007

I'm not sure what the other reviewers' problems were. I bought this for my low profile Dell Optiplex 745. It came with a full size metal bracket fitted, but came with the low profile bracket. Undo the screws, replace bracket, do up screws. Installed into available PCI slot. Came with VGA (not DVI) splitter and installation CD. The socket on the back of the card is neither DVI or VGA but it fits into the splitter cable. No problems.

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 18/07/2006

This product is described on the DABS page as PCI and PCI X compatable. It will not fit into the MSI K8N Neo4 PCI Express slot on my board and did not work when fitted to a normal PCI slot.My old G550 card is AGP and has never gone wrong after 4 years on the road and gets 10/10.

wrong size

This is claimed to be PCI compatible and does not fit into a HP 7600 small form PC. Why do manufacturers waste so much of other peoples time? They deserve to go out of business
