The NVIDIA should work on the computers. I haven't tried it but I've
looked extensively and it appears that there's support for it. However,
if I was buying a dell, I would buy the diamond card they offer.. it's a
lot better card and dell has a lot less problems from it, (take it from an
insider) I would not get a dvd rom drive yet. You can purchase from dell
a computer without sound, that would be your best bet even though the
montego is an awesome card. Go ahead and get a sound blaster awe 64 or or
something like that that is supported by at least RH 5.1.
just some opinions.. hope this helps,
