I am concerned about the video card that you picked up...are you sure that computer has a pci-express slot? You may want to get the service tag number (should be on the back of the pc) and look up the specs on Dell's website just to make sure. You may need to take the card back and get one for an AGP slot.
Thanks, I already made sure it was the pci express slot. The sales rep told me how to pull the tower open and check. I would have purchased the video card yesterday but didn't know if it was AGP or PCI express. I went home and verified last night and went in this AM for the purchase.
Anyway, thanks for the info. I'll just save my money based on what you said.:THUMBSUP:
