Will this graphics card be compatible with my computer?
I recently got a new computer and it came with a Geforce 8200 Integrated. Now I know the card sucks so I am buying a new one. Its the Sapphire 4650 512mb Low Profile. I need the low profile because I have a Acer Aspire x1800. Now my question is will the Radeon work because I have a Nvidia 8200 Integrated. Also I see the PCi x16 slot and it will fit from the reviews I read on Newegg.com. I will be doing some casual gaming but nothing extreme.
Here are the Specs of my PC...
AMD Phenom x4 9650 at (2.3 Ghz)
4GB of RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8200 Integrated
Windows Vista 64-bit (I will upgrade to windows 7 eventually)

It will work off course. Make sure you uninstall your nvidia video card drivers. Then vista will automatically download the appropriate Ati drivers and install them

It might work, but the 220 watt power supply in the Aspire x1800 is far below the 400 watts recommended by Sapphire. If you only have one hard drive and no other cards you might get away with it. If it doesn't work, then you'll need to buy a beefier power supply.
You may need to disable the integrated graphics in the BIOS.
