The AGP socket is keyed for universal 0.8v AGP cards that comply with the AGP 3.0 specification or 1.5v AGP cards that comply with the AGP 2.0 specification. The AGP connector supports 8x and 4x AGP 3.0 add-in cards operating at 0.8v, or AGP 2.0 add-in cards operating at 1.5V.
*NOTE: There is no support for AGP 2x operation or legacy 3.3V AGP cards.*

Pretty much any agp or pci card that you can buy at the moment will work. I am currently running a Leadtek Winfast A6600GT-TDH 128 MB, 8X...FAST, COOL, and QUIET!
Remember to change the setting in the BIOS to AGP or AUTO. Uninstall your old card driver, boot to SAFE mode and run a driver cleaner; power-down and remove your old card; insert your new card and power-up; install the new driver...it's that easy :)
I have already started a search thru Dell community forums and this is one of the posts I have read. There used to be a non-Dell forum (poweredgeforum.com) which dealt with the Dell 400sc server, but it doesn t exist anymore. In there there was a list of video cards which worked properly for members with the OEM power supply. I had already known that the BFG 6800GT would work before I bought it. I have tried to contact a member of the Dell community who had a similar problem with the 7800GS video card. He found out that the first 7800GS card was defective because it didn t work even with an Antec 550w power supply. Now did he ever test his new 7800GS card with his OEM power supply, that is the question?
