Well, this girl I know just got herself a new Dell Insperon slim desktop PC. When she was ordering it, I told her just to get the basic onboard video, and I’d give her a video card I had laying around for 3D acceleration.
as it turns out, the thing is extremely thin… the slots on the back are about 1/2 the size of a standard I/O slot on the back of most desktops. What are these called? She should of just got the card from dell I guess, but I was under the impression that it would be a normal size.
any ideas?
