will the new PCI-e video cards fit into my DELL Precision 530 ? , it has PCI-x slots which are apparently 64 bit 66 Mhz.

The system already had a Nvidia Quadra AGP 4x card fitted which gives me 2 screens , but i want 3 - 4 monitors in total.

thankyou.

No, you can not use PCI-e videocards in a PCI-X slot. From my understanding, you can use regular PCI video cards in a PCI-X slot, though.
I think you can only use one type of video driver on a Windows machine at a time though, so you may want to get a PCI Quadro card. Perhaps any PCI GeForce would work just fine though, I'm not sure.
