Yes I second that point that a GeF4 mx420 is not the card for anyone who games. And yes, the Radeon8500 is a great card and can be bought for under $90. I bought mine for $190 when it came out only 10 months ago!


Garasaki - there is a clan 9th GD and there's a guy there named Garasaki that used to play on Rude's AA.com server from that clan. I thought it was you. I'm pretty sure it was spelled that way.

Also ZRGEN JP - I found this about your dell 4300s at this location:

"Looks like a GeForce4 may not work in the 4300S. The 4300S uses some kind of slimline power supply form factor, so substituting a higher-rated standard ATX supply is not an option?

Any ideas for working around these potential problems? I'd be surprised if Dell shipped 180W power supplies for Pentium4 systems as claimed by Dell online documentation.

Your system power specification shows that your system support
only 180 W and hence you can not upgrade your video card to NVidia
GEForce 4.

and this:

The card itself won't fit. It just fits in full size cases.

In fact, you will have a hard time finding any video card that is short enough to fit in that slot.

You will notice that Dell didn't give any video card upgrade options for it. Even though that is were they make their profit margin look good.
