Uhh, they are trying to rip as much money as possible therefore, you can't have a PC for $600 with that kind of a card. For 520, they've got X1300 and 7300LEs. *suxx

You can add them after you buy the pc itself.

no you can't put that in it cos its a double slot sized card and the e510/520/521 can only accommodate single slot size cards. a geforce 8600 will be the best you can do. Trust me, i've loked into it because i own an e521.

Did the memory work? I'm about to upgrade the ram in my e521 and as far as i know you have to get ram which is compatible and dells use weird stuff. I'll get my memory at crucial.com because they guarantee it'll work, followed by an ocz gameXstream PSU and an 8600 when its out. Post a link to the PNY ram if you can, i'd like to see it.

well my E510 only came with 305w power supply if you want to put a better graphic card in your dell you have to upgrade your power supply. 1 or 2 gb of memory is good enough. i don't know what card i'm getting. it sucks that i can't put the 8800gts in but i just might go with a

ATI Radeon X1900 GT

BFG GeForce 7950 GT OC

Just wait and get an 8600GTS. Should be equivalent performance to a 7900 or 7950 but with DX10 support and probably for about the same cost as a 1900.
