Ok, I found the right BIOS upgrade on the Dell site. I upgraded to
A08 and still have the same problem.


By default DAC is off

http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...up.htm#1097056

Try this:
Turn DAC on
Set Video to Auto
Save and exit and imediately turn the computer off
Remove the AGP adn install the PCI
Power on and see if you get video

I think the DAC option is for system with Intgrated Video (do you have
it?)

If this does not work then it probably does not work with PCI video as
the primary and you should look into getting an AGP with a video tuner
BTW Dell support will not assist with this issue as it is not using
the OEM hardware
