Im'located in Central, Ohio btw, there is a PCIe 16 slot. According to this post here PNY Geforece 210 low power Supposedly a PSU upgrade would not be needed. There is one at a Microcenter near me for only 29$ which is about 20$ cheaper than this freagin adapter.

That sounds reasonable. The 210 will be a step-up from what you have.

Ok so I bought the PNY card installed it and ...money with better quality, I should have done this originally. Thanks for all who helped. This is resolved now.

Excellent, now stick that vga thingy on eBay and your sorted.

Ummm....I did see your last line.

I dont think that they are more likely to be half height, and tend to be far more expensive than the geforce cards they are based on. Which is pretty much all I said about it....

The hlaf-height brackets can sometimes be 2 slots wide, sometimes 1, it depends on what the manufacturer has bundled with the card.

In a most cases, even if its only a 1 slot wide bracket you can still run 2 x monitors. The DVI output is almost always a dual link DVI now, you can run 2 x 1920x1200 from a single dual link DVI port.
