Re: New Graphics Card
First, you need to find out both what the card needs [AGP, PCI, PCI-Express, ect.], and what your motherboard has. You also need a high enough power supply to run it. [eg If the card needs 400w, get 400 or above.] If you don't have enough power you could ruin the computer.

Re: New Graphics Card
No you can't. Plus, you could find all that out on the dell website. http://www.dell.com/content/products/pr ... l=en&s=dfhI really don't trust this guy to install a GPU though. If he ♥♥♥♥ it up, it's his fault.

Re: New Graphics Card
Hahaha, kinda off-topic, but still related because it has to do with Dells.... I went to the Apple store at my mall and I opened up Dell.com on all their computers.

Re: New Graphics Card
No clue if you are compatible - try google more. On the bright side I just got the nVidia GEForce 9500 GT today and it rapes.
