Well, I say "What is this card?", I mean, I can see it's a Nvidia Riva TNT2, what I really mean is, why has it got such a short bracket? I think I've had this lying around for years because I can't use it.
Thanks
Low profile bracket for a Dell?
Yes, I have an optiplex gx150 that would like to have intimate contacts with this card.
Looks like it's made to be used in a low profile case or a proprietary OEM case.
Kind of odd that the GPU has no heat sink on it. All of my TNT2-M64s have them.
could be a HP underclocked tnt2-m64 ...

I was thinking underclocked, too. OEM's buy the cheapest cards available and being able to run them without a fan/heatsink saves them money. It also gives the video card supplier a chance to unload some of their sub-par parts that don't run at retail speeds. Not that all OEM cards are made from bad parts, but I'm sure there a lot more rejects among OEM units than in retail batches since they would be more likely to go undiscovered until someone tries slapping a fansink on one and overclocking it.
