If its a card from PNY it should work. However there are lots of junk vendors that sell 5500 supposed cards and they are Garbage right out of the box.

Usually a pink box with no branding on it or a white box.

I got 2 like this that were DOA out of the box before I gave up and bought retail PNY cards.

Hi

 

Its an Tornado GeForce FX 5500 made by inno3D?
It runs at 4X/8X slot and has 256Mb memory.....

I suppose what I am really asking is confirmation that the WS670 supports 4X/8x AGP?
If yes then I know the card is faulty, if yes then I messed up and need to buy a compatible APG card I suppose...?

Hello

Thanks very much for the information.

So in a polite way you are say that the card is useless as it is not a supported connection type! I stuffed it in another Pc and it fired straight up so the card is definately ok, will try to palm it off on the owner ;) and get the correct card next time.

Thanks

You CANNOT just install and install and install as many cards as you want and it works.
This is NOT A dell issue. Its a card choice issue. If you need to support 3 or 4 monitors then you need to choose a card that supports that.
