Planning to upgrade my Dell 5150

I'm looking for a decent mid range card, enough to play (all) of the games right now w/ some good performance. This is my choice

One thing though before I'm going to purchase...after reading the reviews, what are the chances of me getting a defective ?

Don't worry about defective because if it is, just RMA it. Plus eVga has a lifetime warranty.

What you do need to worry about is how much room you have in that dell, and how powerful that dell PSU is. You might need to upgrade it...and some dells have proprietary pin-outs.

I'm not to worried about it, I did a bit of research that the 7600GT will definitely fit and the PSU is good enough to power up the card. I just don't want to experience a DOA >.< !!!!

i got this card in my Dell E510. Very nice performance boost for 3D games.. but it is noisy. I wish i got a fanless setup.

Well I just ordered it...along w/ 2 x 512 mb DDR2 533mhz sticks. Oh I just hope for the best . I'll keep ya guys updated.

It's hard to believe the card cost as much as the 6600 agp when I bought last year..fascinating.
