I agree with Jerry.  Unless you play 3d games, the onboard should be fine.  You
can get a geforce 4 online for way cheaper than $70 anyway.

Pretty good deal.  Several weeks ago, that had their 400sc server on sale....
Check out the details below

Subject: [APML] computer video card


Dell has a pretty good offer on a Deminsion 4600. Here's what's included:
DimensionTM  4600  Intel R PentiumR 4 Processor 2.8GHz w/533MHz FSB
  MicrosoftR WindowsR XP Home Edition
  SPECIAL OFFER! 512MB at 333Mhz DDR SDRAM for the price of 256MB
  FREE UPGRADE! 80GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive
$399 after rebate but sale ends today (no monitor; includes DVD player and 2nd
Bay CD Burner    Free shipping.

Here's my question: Will the native video card (Extreme graphics card;
integrated) be just a good for Photoshop work as the $70 upgrade to a 128MB
nvida GForce 4 graphics card. This machine will be networked to my other desktop
which has all my scanners going and I will not use this machine for anything
except image editing. Also, will  this machine be much faster than my Dell
Pentium III XPS T500 with 512 MB ram? Bobby Middleton
