Most of us know the nVidia GeForce 7300 series of graphics cards are incapable of gaming. The Advent T9208 comes with the GeForce 7300SE card (The weakest of the 7300 series), but is overall a decent computer. I've considered upgrading the computer by replacing the graphics card so I can finally play my beloved Battlefield 2 without playing in minimum details. The problem is that the case is very compact and can't fit in many of the modern cards. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what card did you manage to upgrade to?
Graphics Card Upgrade for Advent T9208 - Which Card?
-Recommended System Requirements:
2.66 Ghz CPU
1024 MB RAM
256 MB video card supporting 1.4 shaders (ATI Radeon X700 / NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT or above)

If you're not using the PCIE x1 slot, then all you have to worry about is fouling the heatsink on the reverse side of the graphics card. If you are using the PCIE x1 slot, then you are constrained both sides, but it's just a normal micro ATX board - so solutions should be easy to find...
The third link below gives one such example, from http://www.scan.co.uk/ ...
and the fourth link allows you to see the card from different angles - so you'll have a better idea of any potential problems.
