Upgrade from 6800

[SpamMonkey]

I have a Dell 5000 which I think has PCI-E and currently has a 6800 (not sure what sort). The processor is a pentium 4 at 3.2ghz. 1Gb of ram.

As you can tell from the above, I'm not really into the details of the system, so I want some advice for what graphic card to upgrade to.

I want the graphics upgrade to be able to play Medieval Total War or NWN2 on a Dell 2405 monitor at full res.

Will I get the full benefit of something like an 8800 with my processor or should I just get a cheaper card?

Anyone know if the larger cards will fit in my case (it's a mini-tower). Ideally I'd also like the card to be quieter than the 6800.

Thanks in advance

Radeon 1950pro is cheap and powerful.

check the psu in your dell system if its lacking then go for a 7900gs otherwise the 1950pro is good or if you want to spend more get the 7900gto.
