Need Help in Finding a Video Card for Server.

Hello. I searched for a video card upgrade for our energy management server at work. We are using 16meg onboard video now. I understood the specs on Dell's website that the machine will handle a PCI-E card. I bought an 8600 GT but it did not fit. Normally we would have to purchase one from the IT department, but it is a painful process. Could somebody recommend one? It will have to have Windows 2003 Server drivers. Here are the slot specs:

PCI64 66MHZ
PCI-E X4
PCI-E X8
PCI32 33MHZ
PCI-X 100MHZ

Thanks.
 
Check this thread.
There is a guy in there that got a 8600 running with an adapter.

BTW I just ran a google search for "dell poweredge 1800 video card" and it was on the front page.
 
Sorry, haven't worked with an 1800 before. I have used 1850's and 1950's, but that is in a production environment. We weren't trying to improve video performance.
