An option to installing the nVidia drivers with nVidia's installer is to get the dell-nvidia and dkms packages from Dell's support website (search for dell-nvidia and dkms). The best thing about this approach is that the driver will be recompiled when the machine is rebooted with a new kernel.
As a (perhaps irrelevant) data point, I'm running a PowerEdge 400SC with an nVidia Corporation GeForce3 Ti 200 and a DVI connection to a Dell 2000FP monitor at the full 1600x1200 resolution. Works great with the nVidia drivers; only the analog connection works for X with the XFree driver.
I have a GeForce4 card with the same monitor at home in my Debian system; works great with the Debian-packaged nVidia drivers.
