What's the best low profile AGP card I can get?

[firestorm225]

My dad brought a computer from a work, a Compaq Evo Small Form Factor pc. While it has a 2.4ghz 533 FSB P4 and 512mb PC2700 ram, it's severly crippled by the Intel Extreme graphics card. I want to put in a new video card, though it only supports low profile (reduced bracket sized AGP cards). I was checking out Newegg, and found these two:

GeForce4 MX 440
Radeon 9200

Unfortunatly, while the GeForce4 was tagged as being Low-Profile, the Radeon 9200 wasn't. I just checked the 9200 pictures and saw that the accessories included a small bracket. So I can't just search low profile and find all the low profile video cards.

So does anyone know what video cards come with the small bracket? Any better ones that the ones I found?

Go with the 9200. Or if you can find it, Power-Color made the 9100 as a low profile card. I have one, but I can't find anyone selling them anymore. From what I've read, the 9100 should be faster than the 9200. I haven't tested the 9200 w/ 128mb ram though, so it may be faster than the 64mb cards, probably not by much though.

Don't get the MX440, it is no good for gaming compared to the Radeon. I've tried a MX440se and couldn't play much at all, SOF2 was horrible, BF1942 worked on lowest settings, same with UT2K3. I've also read that the MX440 cards aren't so good above 1280x1024 resolution, but I did not tested that on mine before I sold it.

www.power-color.com shows the 128mb as lowprofile and also gives the model number which many stores are currently stocking.

9100 is faster than the 9200, so take it if you can.

Beware of the low profile video cards. Most are 64bit and crippled performance wise. Ati cards are easy to identify as they will have only 2 mem chips per side to keep the profile low.
I would measure the actual space you have to play with and squeeze the smallest 128/256bit card you can find in there.

What about Geforce FX 5200's? These are available in low profile.
