Dell Dimension 4600C- Need a compatible half-height video card 2

[Slippenos]

Hello.

I recently bought The Sims 2 for use on a Dell Dimension 4600C.

It does not run as well as I had anticipated it to so I am considering a video card.

Problem is, it will only house a half-height, low-end pci video card; presumably agp 4x.

I read a previous thread concerning this matter:

-But to no avail.
Would anyone know of compatible cards?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the card does not come with a DVI to VGA converter- you need one of those.

Attach the half-height bracket when you slot it in, but before you do -->

Goto Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the current dell video drivers. Upon doing this, your resoulution will be very very low. Shut down and slot in the card. Close the case and attach the DVI to VGA adapter. Thats what you'll plug your monitor into.

Then your golden.

I frankly suprised that the card didn't come with a DVI to VGA connector, every card i've seen with "twin DVI" has come with the adapter already supplied in the box.
It goes without saying the majority of users will not have a DVI compatible display so this adapter should be included.
