What I've got: Acerx1200,Win7 x64,AMD Athlon x2,4GB DDR2,NVIDIA GeForce 8200 integ.
What I'd like: Since there is an empty slot for another graphics card, it would be nice to have that one filled. (have a thirsty game) Tried to get one to fit at Milwaukee PC, but to no avail. Case for comp. is not very wide, which seems to be part of the problem. Acer tech support is unresponsive.

Is it possible to find a card that fits?

Ridiculous case size w/220 watt PS
Get out your tape measure and look at the various low-profile cards

Your best option would have been the Galaxy 9600GT Low-Profile Card.

^ But considering the current PSU being used in Aspire X1200, the LITE-ON PS-5221-06, alternatives for the same max out at 300W.

So that leaves you with the following options:

VisionTek HD 4350 512MB (Rec. PSU 250W +)

VisionTek HD 4550 512MB (Rec. PSU 270W +)

HIS HD 4350 512MB (Rec. PSU 300W+)
