Is your post directed to animate 13? Are you replying to me? I am sorry. I don't know much about forums and I am totally lost. ARe you asking me about specs or is your post to someone else? If you are asking me, here is what I was going to get but it came to over $4,000 so I was going to cut it as low as I could and then get the rest later or on another card. DELL won't let me put some on my credit card and some on my Dell business account.
Here are the specs I started with:

I want to make sure to which graphics card you are talking about. Is this one it? ATI FireGLâ„¢ V8650 and if so, how much is it and will it work in the DELL? Is it hard to put in. I know back before I became disabled, I put in cd roms, Adrives, and ram but now I can't hardly even get a computer open much less squeeze soemthing into those slots. Do graphic cards fit the same as ram, in those slots?
Thanks, and by the way, this post is to the bedwetter that is lazy. <grin> That is so cute.
Hi, thanks for your response. He was wanting to sell me 4 SAS instead of 1 SATA. When you say SAS is faster, is that one SAS drive with a lot of GB or 4 divided? Which is better SAS, one with a lot or 4 divided and used as one? Or does there have to be at least 4 to use SAS drives? Sorry, I am really confused.
