    Can someone confirm if this card comes with a DVI-I and a VGA out connection for a monitor. I'm getting conflicting reports on this subject. Thanks.

    Hi Bill,
    It may come with two VGA connectors or it may come one VGA and one DVI connector [high end cards are coming out with two DVI connectors, but a 5200 will probably not have two]. It really depends on the manufacturer of the card. 5200 refers to the chipset manufacturer (nVidia), not the card's manufacturer (these include Asus, MSI, Gigabyte and many specialty graphics manufacturers). nVidia do not make graphics cards, only graphics chipsets.

    You may find a basic card only has one (VGA) connector.

    Thanks for that, one question, will my dell 1100 psu 250w be enough to run the card without frying my processor.

    You'll only fry your processor if you install it incorrectly and short something out.

    Your power supply might not be big enough but there's only one way to find out for sure...
