Does anyone know if a PCIe 2.0 gfx card will fit in a PCIe slot ?

- not sure whether the ATI 4670 would be capable of going in this
machine having noticed that :-}

TIA :-)

Yes. I just ordered the Nvidia 240, it appears to be about the most
powerful card you can use with a 300 w power supply...if I am not mistaken,
the 4670 needs a more robust power supply than what came stock in your
machine.

I've since had a response on the Dell forums (their own site) and
others have used the same combo without any problems, but it's a valid
point so thanks for the reply !

(I purposely looked for a lower-wattage card with a bit of kick, and
it seemed to fit the bill)

Take a look at the 240, I too had decided on the 4670, power supply be
dammed, but the reviews and specs on the 240 look pretty good...for the most
part they seem to best the 4670.
