Thanks guys, you made my day.
I bought a X1900XT that I had to return because it was too long, the ATX-connector is is located right in line with the PCI-e bus, due to bad ASUS-HP mobo layout. Then I bought a used 7950GT(trying to keep it budget) that keeps freezing on me at an auction site. Now I saw this 7900GT, demo-ex in a dealers bargain bin, that probably would do the trick before buying a new system next year sometime.
Thats the whole story, thanks again
