Default Dell PowerEdge 1800 Server - Installing a Graphics Card on a SERVER

Hi there,

A Dell PowerEdge 1800 Server isn't made for Graphics/Games ( Although there is more than enough processing power to do this I think).

The Motherboard doesn't have AGP Graphics Card Slots but it does have 2 PCI-X slots and plenty of Regular PCI Slots. However, I read on an internet article somewhere that most 5 Volt PCI Video Cards will not work in the PCI Slots for PowerEdge servers because they are 3.3 Volt or something like that???

Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do? I don't want a crazy graphics card for games on my server but I would like to have a 64mb or 128 mb video card instead of the crappy ATI Rage XL 8mb integrated Graphics Card.




Thanks!!
