NVIDIA GeForce 6200 / 6600 / 6800 / 7800
Now, knowing that, would YOU put out a few hundred smackers for something NOT on the list ?

I think we can guarantee the GeForce 7900GS or Radeon X1900 or X1950 will work fine for the game. It's just that these cards were released within the past year, and (apparently, somehow) after the box art with hardware specs was finalized for the game.
As to your motherboard - I just looked up your case on
HP's support site, and it looks like you are golden. Indeed, a PCI-E 16x slot. You can put in it basically anything you want....with one caveat.
You DO only have a 300W power supply. That's going to be...very limiting.
I'll also second (?third?) the recommendation to buy from Newegg. Their customer service is great (indeed,
better than most Best Buy's, according to the Better Business Bureau), and return policy is no-hassle (if it comes to that). It's just that we are 'between generations' with video cards, and so the slower-to-adjust "brick and mortar" retail prices are OUTRAGEOUS compared to reputable online dealers. I've seen cards in Best Buy easily TWICE as expensive as Newegg sells them for (to the order of hundreds of dollars).
