Low Profile Video Cards

Hey guys im lookin to get a new video card for my desktop form factor computer. Heres a pic of it.

So far Ive seen this video card that I am interested in.

This computer will be running counter strike 1.6. Id like to achieve 90-100fps on the highest settings if possible.

If anyone can help me select a video card Id apperciate it. Keep in mind in must be AGP.

The GF5500 is obsolete. For the same price or cheaper, the GF6200 will be faster. Here's one that should fit your low-profile AGP slot:

the 6200 will most problly own the FX5500, even though its cheaper . anyways, isn the max of screens usually 75fps? so the FX5500 will give ya enough right? unless you are running a CRT. correct me if im wrong. im not saying get the FX5500 btw, get the 6200 by all means.. sry, i should stop, im too tired. its 2am now. lol. gettting all muddle headed

Easy decision. The 6200 cost half as much and performs better...
