Vostro 200 MiniTower PCI Express
Vostro 200 Mini Tower
I need a cheap PCI Express card for a DUAL MONITOR SETUP.
How would I know if this is compatible or not?

The 5450 uses about 13 watts of power at full load: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_6670/20.html It's definitely compatible with your power supply; I'm using one in a mini-ITX with a 220-watt power supply.

No, when a PCIe x 16 video card is installed, the integrated graphics are disabled.
You need to but a card with two monitor connectors.

PURCHASED!!! thanks SpeedStep. If (WHEN?) it does work I will thank you again privately, but when i install this and i hook up my two monitors to the NEW video card, what happens to the empty onboard graphics monitor port? do i just leave that alone?

ok finally got my paycheck... i tried to buy the first one before and my card got rejected which is probably a good thing since i like the ASUS since i guess it's faster.
CHESMAN can you verify that this works with a stock Vostro 200 Mini? how do you know if it's compatible with your motherboard or not??? thanks again for all the help!!! you re awesome man

The Asus card has the low profile brackets. You will need to use a pair of pliers to remove the tall bracket if you do not have full size slots.
