Great PCIe x1 Adapter (no DVI, rather it has two VGA ports),

I was looking for a second video card for my system, but the only slots available were PCIe x1 (not x16's). This was the ONLY card I could find to meet those specs. It supports DirectX 10 and is a nice small card (also has a low-profile bracket included). Please note that the description is wrong. There is no DVI port. Instead, it has a proprietary port (that looks somewhat DVI-like) that is used to connect the included Y-cable which provides two VGA ports. I now have four monitors on my quad-core PC and it works great. I recommend you combine this card with another Nvidia 8400 class x16 adapter so that you only need one set of video drivers and a single video control panel.
Great card for those with x1 slots,

This is a very good card depending on what you want to use it for, I have an old dell 3100/e310 and it only has PCI and PCI e x1 slots so this was a great option for me, the fan on the card is very quiet and this card needs very little power to run, runs cool and taker up very little space. It does not have DVI though, but it does come with a cable that has 2 VGA ports. I have this card for a few months now and I haven't had a single problem with it but if you are a gamer then you need something with a little bit more power.
