Still a great deal for a 1080p LCD at 42 inches!!
Yup...i did that.
But thanks anyways i got it to work somehow.
But for some reason i cant get a graphics resolution on the game that is widescreen
only 800 x 600 or 1250 x 1024 something like that.
i updated the drivers..that solved the red tint problem is videos.
but today i installed the GRAWs that was complimentary with the graphics card and i cant even get the Game to work. The instant i try to open the GRAW.exe the game crashes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling...also...
I installed the XFX Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS last night on my dell. And it worked..so that was good.
But i can't say it worked without a hitch.
First impressions.."ok i really dont notice a difference." Tried playing a video file and it seemed a bit choppy. But i thought that could just be...
Ladies and Gents I finally ordered a Video card
XFX GeForce 7900GS 256mb

Thanks for all the help and I'll keep everybody updated on how it performs for my tasks.
I even called up XFX tech support to make sure my power supply...
This thread has gotten bigger then i thought...but upon read some reviews on the 8600GTS...I'm not gonna get it. I Really dont need Direct X 10, not planing on putting vista on this system. And i saw that the geforce 7 series did better in game tests.
here are my Final choices...
I dont plan on changing the Processor. Just a minor mod of the vid card.
I'm gonna wait a bit before updating to a C2D....probably when vista's stable and I'll probably build my own system with a massive PSU so i dont have to worry about it not having enough juice.
Power supply
Power supply Delta N375P-00
Continuous power 375 W
Max. current 12 V - Rail 1 18 A
Max. current 12 V - Rail 2 18 A
Max. current 12 V - Rail 3 0
Max. current 12 V - Rail 4 0
Max. current 5 V 22 A
Max. current 3.3 V 17 A
Model: N375P-00
Ref. NO...
My PSU has a 12V 18A per rail rating and a 30Amp Max (I think...i'll check once i get home)
and as for not getting the EVGA mentioned before is because I think the XFX is a bit better and the $20 rebate isnt really a deciding factor.
On a different Note I decided to go onto the dell...
Gentlemen I don't plan on getting a 8800GTX, my friends have it..definitely over kill for my purpose. Plus out of the price range i mentioned. I'm pretty sure i have enough room in my case for it but...i really dont see a need for it at this point. Maybe when I build a new PC in a year.
So...
good to know that the Dell Power supply's not gonna let me down.
Does anybody own this card or have any opinions about it?

Thanks guys for all the help.
I'll most likely be getting a 7600GT
but still wondering if a 7900GT would work for me too? or is that pushing the PSU or will it bottleneck my Processor
Would this be a good fit for me?(will my power supply be a problem) its a 375w 12v 18A
GeForce 8600GT

on sale on zipzoom for $150 shipped
or should i get something in the GeForce 7600GT or 7800GT?
This is me first post/thread so I apologized if I ask stupid questions.
I currently have a Dell Dimension 9100 which is only a 1 and half old, So it still does my daily tasks pretty well, but i need it to do more.
A major factor in the system that is lacking is definitely the video card...
