Well, your DELL has integrated graphics, an onboard graphis chip that shares your system memory to produce system video. Your system has no PCIE or AGP expansion slots to add a video card of those interfaces. The EVGA 6200 is a PCI interface. So, the card should work, but not very well if you plan on any heavy gaming or other video intensive activities. I would think it would be better than onboard graphics to some extent. It's fairly cheap, so no big investment involved. See what others say, but the card may be a dissappointment if performance is what you need most. May be better to start thinking new, more powerful system instead of trying to upgrade what you have.
fully compatible your good to go. the pci version 2.1 was approved in 1995. and your system was manufactured several years after that date there is a 99 percent chance its pci version 2.1 ill guarantee your fine to install it as long as you have the power requirements if it needs an external connection.
The card is available at EVGA also. If you have any further questions concerning compatibility or performance increase, send EVGA support an email and ask.
hey guys i got the card but have a little problem ok heres the story.
the card is already in my computer and the computer knows its there.i connected my moniter to the video card so the monitor would work. so i installed the software it came with then i restarted my computer and it shows the loading screen but when it gets to the login screen nothing happens its just black i cant login unless i change the options on setup to onboard video but i have to unplug the monitor from the card and it wont work if i do that help!
also when i have to switch from the graphics card to the plugin on the back of my computer like for the monitor the plugin. i goto setup it says onboard and auto when i do onboard its just regular it uses old card but when i do auto it uses nvidia it even says when i start up but cant goto login screen i did try to uninstall and i could use auto but when i reinstalled i got same problem. i think its the install software disk
