Thanks again Jango.

You get what you pay for....those old cards don't work as well, and will certainly slow down your system. I recently upgraded mys systems with a couple of Nvida cards, 7900's, and they work really well...and my system performance was improved dramatically.
You pay for quality once!
These are for trading, not gaming. They are plenty fast. At the least I'd try the low cost solution first to see if it was sufficient before throwing away a bundle on high end cards.

try this wally street mommaboard:
asus P5W64 WS Professional
Intel Coreâ¢2 Extreme / Coreâ¢2 Duo Ready
Quad-core CPU Ready
DDR2 800/667/533
FSB 1066/800/533
Quad PCI-E x 16 slots
and a few dual dvi x1600 ati cards for some fast charting sweetness under 600 bones..
that would be nice to have 4 PCI-E x16 slots. do you know if I can take use that motherboard to replace the one in my Core duo Dell 9150? presumably the form factor is standard? Thanks,

Probably not. Dell's mobos are OEM and in the past they have been of non-standard physical dimensions which would only fit properly into a Dell case.
Could be Dell has adopted standard size, so you might want to call them an verify before you buy a new board.... Or, just build a new one and keep the Dell as is.

that's a shame, but figures. Thanks anyways, something to think about.

I have this quad-head board and I'm very happy with it. It's a PCIe x1, so it's a great add-on.

Can you mix and match ATI and Nvidia cards?
That is to say I have a dual head DVI Nvidia card and would like to add this quad ATI so I can run 4 additional monitors. Is this plug and play?
Thanks for all the help.

Or is it better to add a quad head Nvidia such as the NVS440?
Thanks
