I need a new graphics card for an older system (PCIE-1.0). I don't game,
do graphics, rendering, etc. so don't need high end - just a good
workstation unit that supports OpenGL, good color accuracy, and draws
square squares :) Occasional DVD's are probably about the most GPU
intensive use the system sees. Noisy fans and failed fan bearings are a
drag, so passive cooling is a plus, but not always a must as long as the
card doesn't make the box sound like a hovercraft.
I've been happy with:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024NL1E0
in a system built around a Tyan S2865-family motherboard(which may well
qualify as an "older system" now). Passive cooling. Drives two 24"
LCD's quite happily.
That model fits in a pcie x16 slot. i believe there's also a pcie x1
slot version if you really don't need performance...
