So now, I have to decide if just get a new adapter or if I get a new card.

Getting the adapter means coming up with the acutal cash, which shouldn't be hard as I get paid on Friday. But, I'll be paying more in shipping than for the actual part. Plus, waiting for shipping.

Getting the card means I'll be getting a nice upgrade for my system, and only waiting till Saturday, when I can get to Best Buy.

Decisions, decisions.

Just a question, why brick and mortar? You can go to Newegg and get a much better PSU for less money.

Well, A: NewEgg costs real money. BB will take the only piece of plastic that I have (BB Credit Card)

B: I'm in impatient little baby and want it NOW! And I'm willing to pay for it.

I am leaning toward the ATI Radeon right now.

I'm a little worried about the reports of size and DOAs, but I really don't want to replace my psu, and that's the card I have to go with to keep from doing that. I figure anything's better than the onboard card.

I was looking at that same card for my computer - it should be a bit of an improvement over the onboard graphics of your machine. Only reason I didn't get it is that NewEgg had a fanless Asus (Nvidia) 8400GS graphics card for $35 that has served my needs well.

If you're planning on getting a new card anyway, hold off on getting the adapter. Most cards I've seen have one packaged in with the card.

well, I'm pretty sure the new card will be dvi-i!

I didn't even know dvi-d existed!

I ended up buying the Radeon. No problems so far!
