you should scan the dell threads and find the upgeades that proved to work and dell forums and see what upgrades worked but with a prebuilt is all at own risk prebuilts are only gurenteed to work as is as sold to you out of the box , that's it .. now you can get a card and it may work fine or you may get 5 cards and all blackscreen... that's your risk on them ...

my disclaimer

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that wount post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..


you got to know the the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers


I tried to explain to this guy but weather he got the point don't know
