Slimline/microATX ja sen näytönohjain

Tuli jokin aika sitten ostettua HP SlimLine PC jossa on micro ATX emolevy ja siinä PCIE väyläinen GeForce 7500LE.
Eli. Jos nyt joskus tulee tarvetta vaihtaa n.ohjain, niin sattuuko kukaan tietämään onko olemassa tuollaisiin pieniin koneisiin n.ohjaimia vai onko noissa konekohtaisesti räätälöity ohjain? Tuntuu ettei mistään löydy tuohon koneeseen sopivaa ohjainta, kun se on tosiaan sellainen kapea malli.

''Low-profile video cards
Slimline ATX desktop and tower cases are far too confined to house standard full-sized PCI or AGP or PCI Express video cards, therefore video cards that are usually half the full-size height, called low-profile cards, have to be used.

Proprietary manufacturers such as HP, Compaq, Gateway, and Dell can use slimline cases. Examples of models that can use them are the Compaq DeskPro and the Dell Optiplex.

PCI/AGP/PCI Express video cards are made as low-profile cards, and they are usually not much more expensive that the full-sized version of the same model, but availability could be a problem, because, firstly, not all video-card manufacturers make low-profile cards, and, secondly, when available, they have the same names as their full-sized counterparts, and, if not purchased at a premium from HP, Compaq, Dell, etc., would therefore be difficult to locate. Moreover, as you might expect, low-profile cards are never as powerful as the full-sized models.

The technology provided by the latest video cards cannot currently fit on to low-profile cards, so instead of running a 256MB ATI Radeon 9800XT or nVidia FX 5900 card, the user with such a slimline case would only be able to use relatively under-powered low-profile cards such as a 128MB ATI Radeon 9200 or an nVidia GeForce FX 5200.

Moral of the story: avoid buying a computer housed in a slimline case.

See the Motherboard page on this site for information on the use of riser cards to accommodate adapter cards in slimline cases.''

Itse omistan slimline koneen ja voin sanoa että ehkei kannattanut, koska olisin mielelläni pelannut joitain ns. parempia pelejä, joihin tarvitsee kunnon grafiikkakortin. Harmin paikka.

 

No, kiva kuulla että on kohtalon tovereita... ;D
