Half-height video cards...

[Kitros]

I am looking for options here, but all I see is a GF4 MX440.

Are there other half-height video cards available that are good (enough) for gaming?

(btw - I am building a small, portable pc.)

Thanks!

I've seen a PALIT brand 5200 that has a board only half-hieght; the metal bracket is full height itself, but if the board can be half-height, then it's likely there's a half-height card out there somewhere.

I was under the impression that the FX5200 (440's replacement) wasn't as good as a MX440...

I'll check on that 4200 =) btw - which brand 4200?

I have an Asus v9520 GeForce FX 5200 and it shorter than most. Its not to bad, but could be better for games.

The keyword you're looking for is "Low Profile"

The most powerful LP card you'll find at the moment is a Powercolor Radeon 9600SE, which suffers from the problem of a 64-bit memory bus.

The 5200's are slow, but they're not MX440 slow. It's really a GF3/GF2 comparison in terms of performance, where the GF3(5200) will win.

I'm intrigued by this low-profile Ti4200 as well.

Or Twista could just be PWI again.
