Good video cards at a sensible price

that'll work great

Edito: Would something like this work?http://www.newegg.com/Product/...21094

Yes, that or the EVGA model using the same nVidia chip ... the only thing about the ASUS is that the heat sink fan seems pretty big. It would probably block the PCI slot next to the graphics PCI-16 slot.

If that's your price range I'd recommend the XFX 8600GT xxx. It's ~$68 after rebate. XFX = lifetime warranty that is transferable!

Yes, the 8600GT is definitely faster than the 8500 cards, but I would be concerned about the power supply requirements. As I recall, the 8500 will probably work with the Dell Dimension 4700 supply, but the 8600 needs more power (a 400W supply is recommended, I think).

So, I'd stick with the 8500 instead ...

I'd recommend looking at the ATI 2400 and 2600 series if you're on a power constraint
