"my dell only works with nvidea"
You should be able to use either ATI or nVidia based cards in your Dell. Who told you nVidia only?
Your system only has a 250W PSU, so you may have trouble running any high powered gaming card without an upgrade.

As for the 6800GT, it looks like you copied the heading directly from newegg.

I can think of no reason why the X1600PRO wouldn't work. What happens when you put it in your Dell? No display at all?
