Dell Precision 670 with Nvidia Quadrofx 3400

You're in luck.  I just did this exact configuration last week, and so
far it's pretty sweet.  Here's my XF86Config file.  I have both standard and
widescreen LCDs hooked up to the DVI ports, so you might have to make a few
minor changes, but it shouldn't be too difficult.  The README file for the
nvidia driver covers this type of thing in Appendix R (I think).
