Not a standard sized case? If not, there's probably no way to know until you buy one. Or you could see if nvidia's website (or a review) has the dimensions of the card listed and measure your box. :shrug:

the machine the card will go in is a agp , p4 . 2.5

the price diff between these 2 cards doesnt matter because they are so close in price.

i just cant justify 400-500$ on a supercard for this agp no sli machine .

so its all a temp fix for q4 only.

i dont play at high res or with mega -high visual quality.

but i want rock solid smoothness.

Well if its a temporary fix i'd just hold off a few days and see what performance people are getting out of q4 on the cards they have, ask about and theres your answer, but really a P4 2.5?? any P4 under 3.4ghz is gonna be a bottle neck to any new/decent card you buy so might be time for a new CPU as well if your planning on making a beast of a pc for q4!

on the size issue, i've had two different types of 6800, one was a 1 slot card and my 6800gt ultra took up two slots and was fucking big, it just fit in at a squeeze!
