Recommendations for graphics card for an Inspiron 530

But I see this would draw more power than most Dell machines come stock with.

Is there a plan to upgrade the power supply as well?

I recently purchased a VisionTek TV Wonder HD 650 for my wife's laptop. I was assured that it was the correct card by Tech Support- It Wasn't!

This is a Hybrid tuner (Digital or Analog TV)/ HDTV PLayback & Record/ Harware Acceleration

However it was and is for my Inspiron 530 Desktop. It installed in minutes and I am having a blast figuring out how to use it! I have had no crashes, and I am enjoying learning about something I would have never purchased otherwise. No crashes, easy to understand help and support, and NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!

COST- $139.00 directly from Dell- I was hoping to bypass buying an HDTV for the Bedroom since we were getting her this Laptop for Christmas. Would never have purchased otherwise, but they would not accept a return! Extremely poor Customer Service decision- and offered no alternatives--sub Speaker, Headphones etc. This has been my Only complaint with Dell so far.
