I recently purchased the same PC. You will be pleased with the overall performance,
but I've encountered some problems running NHRA on the RIVA TNT. The game appears
to have a replay bug on some video cards that causes replays to be truncated after about
20 seconds, which is aggravating (of course this is minor compared to most people's
experiences with this game!).
On a positive note, the AGP textures look fantastic, and the framerate is
exceptionally smooth. If you can live without replays in NHRA, the Dell works
nicely. BTW, the TNT screams on supported Direct3D games.
