I'm upgrading a dell dimension 2400 for a friend. Added memory, a hard drive and this video card. Loaded call of duty, battlefield 1942 and typhoon rising and they work well and look great considering it is a pci card. The setup on Typhoon Rising put all graphic options near the top settings and it looks great. Pleasantly suprised with the performance and love the price. Handles directx 9 and t&l.

I had this card pre-installed on my old Dell and it worked great. I was thinking of getting this for my gateway as well. The only thing is that it doesnt handle graphics from like splinter cell very well. It runs very slow when youre in very well lit areas. I had 512mb ram on the old computer so maybe that was the cause. At any rate, this is the one to go for!

I bought this adapter to run a new 22" LCD monitor with a 3 year old Dell Dimension 2400. I am running the monitor with the digital (DVI) connection at 1680x1050. Here's what worked for me to install this card:
I did not change anything in the Dell's BIOS; it was set to Auto in the graphics options. In Windows XP, go to the control panel and disable (don't uninstall!) the Intel onboard graphics. Do not restart, but rather shut down the computer.
Install the new video card and plug in the monitor to the new card. Turn on the computer. Install the driver on the install disk. This driver only seems to run the monitor at only 1280x960 resolution over the DVI port, but will run at full 1680x1050 using the DVI to analog converter supplied with the card. I went to the Nvidia site (not the eVGA site) and downloaded the 93.71_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe driver. I had to uninstall the previous version, so maybe it is best to not to install the driver on the...Read more
