Grandson was given an older Dell Dimension computer but it did not have the graphics card option installed. He couldnt play even moderately complex games on this computer because the builtin graphics output of the motherboard could not keep up with the requirements of the games. Fortunately this computer did have an AGP slot for graphics upgrade. The "Dimension" line of Dell computers is very low profile so a full height graphics card would not fit inside. This card came with two different mounting brackets to fit both full size and half size computers. The full size bracket was preinstalled, but it was a simple matter of two screws to swap it for the shorty that was included in the box. AGP is pretty much dead these days as a technology for graphics adapters. In the late 90s and early 2000s it was THE hot new graphics technology. Today it has been almost entirely replace by PCIe. Some older computers that are still completely functional use AGP and cannot accept PCIe cards. This card was the perfect solution to that dilemma in my grandsons case. Im sure he will outgrow it in a couple of years, but for now a perfectly good computer lives on in his room. http://garyadair.com/325002
