thanks Browne. Are you sure it's compatable with a dell? i've been reading up on it but there's nowhere that says it is.

its just that i've heard that dell's can only take certain types.

LINKY (http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/dimen_5150?c=us&cs=28&l=en&s=dfb)
well the Dell Dimension 5150 has a PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard, so the card Browne suggeste should fit just fine...
What is your budget.
