I bought a computer for my son a few years ago and now he has taken an interest in a Final Fantasy XI game that is apparently not compatible with the video card that came with his computer. Is there a site that I can get a definite compatibility answer? Ive checked what the game site says is compatible but how do i know if it will work with the PC he has?|||Your options are very limited. Because it's a slim system, it can only use a low profile graphics card in it. Also, because it only has a 220W power supply, it can only use a low power, low profile graphics card.
Here's the system specs-

That system has a PCI Express x16 slot that you'll use for the card, but the card you use must have a low profile mounting bracket included with it. You'll most likely have to remove the bracket it ships with and attach the low profile bracket yourself (an easy task).
That said, there is only one card that I know of that will both fit in that system AND work with it's 220W power supply...the Radeon HD 5450. It has a max power draw of 20W and isn't really a gaming card (better suited for use in an HTPC), but according to the system requirements for FF XI,

it's as good as, or better than the cards in the GeForce 6 series that are recommended for that game.
Here's a comparison of the HD 5450 and one of the GeForce 6 series cards, the GeForce 6600 LE-
