I have bought a N900 WIRELESS DUAL BAND PCI EXPRESS ADAPTER. Will it fit in to a slot in my Dell 9200?

The device is a one-lane PCI Express card. Dell 9200 covers hundreds of models, so a little more detail on which model would be nice.
The general manual for that model shows
10
PCI Express x1 card
connector
11
PCI Express x16 card
connector
12
PCI Express x4 card connect

so you should have a place for it unless these three slots are filled.

Thank you for the advice and forgive the delay in reply, I decided to go for a USB N900 Dual band wireless adaptor to save all the messing about inside the tower. Got to say it works very well and I am happy with it, cheaper too. Apart from taking up a usb slot, would your opinion be that an internal one (if you have a space) is better? Thanks again for advice.

It's a lot easier to adjust the position and alignment of the antenna with an external one.
