I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that I use it with. I have only used it to run other types of programs, haven't tried any games. Probably would depend on game specs if it would satisfy the requirement.

well aliah, when i purchased two like this, they only worked only once with different cd's, but didn't work with none of my movies. so the best thing i can say is purchase it, try it, and if don't work send it back. keep packaging for if you have to return for a refund.

Yes, It should work on yours. That model inspiron takes this size card. I doubt it'd be any faster than what you have built in though based on the age of that model of laptop. I chose this card for Linux compatibility. If you want one that's faster and you don't care about Linux I'd personally try and find one that's this size but is 802.11AC. This card is only an N.

Dell Inspiron 14 is a laptop, if I'm not mistaking? If so, then no. I have an old Dell studio and the card was an amazing cheap but for such an old computer. Windows 7 prompted me immediately to install necessary drivers and did s few Java updates as well. A dell studio running elder scrolls online with high graphics like s champ because of this little awesome card! Good luck. If you pc has around 500 watts of power and has a slot for s new graphics card you can bet this will fit!

Hi, Unless your system has a mSATA slot it will not work. This is the best info I could find for you.http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Dell-memory/Inspiron+Laptops%2FNotebooks/Inspiron+1420-upgrades.html

I would think so. Check the socket and make sure they match though. I suggest using the cpu cooler that comes with it or buy a better one on here (amazon). It can get quite hot especially if your gonna over clock or be gaming with it. Probably search on Google "dell inspiron 570 socket type". Sorry I'm answering your question while on the go. Hope this helps.

its not compatible, the dell inspiron 1525 has only a internal (built internally) video card.... cannot be removed or changed

You can usually find system requirements for video games on Google. An old version of The Sims probably will play on this laptop if it has the ATI X1300 graphics card with 64 MB of Video RAM. I have American McGee's Alice on this laptop and it plays very well. Here are the system requirements for "The Sims 2": The Sims 2 Recommended System CPU: Pentium 4 or Athlon XP CPU Speed: 2 GHz RAM: 512 MB OS: Windows XP / Vista / 7 Video Card: 64 MB 3D accelerated video card (NVIDIA GeForce3/ATI Radeon 8500/Intel Extreme Graphics 2 or better) DirectX version: 8.1 (included) Sound Card: Yes Free Disk Space: 3.5 GB DVD-ROM: 8X DVD-ROM (This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some CD/DVD-ROM, CD/DVD-RW and virtual drives.) The Sims 2 Minimum System CPU: Pentium III or Athlon CPU Speed: 800 MHz with a T&L capable Video Card (2.0 GHz without Hardware T&L Video Card) RAM: 256 MB OS: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 Video Card: 32 MB 3D accelerated video card (NVIDIA GeForce2/ATI Radeon VE/Intel Extreme Graphics or better) DirectX version: 8.1 (included) Sound Card: Yes Free Disk Space: 3.5 GB DVD-ROM: 8X DVD-ROM (This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some CD/DVD-ROM, CD/DVD-RW and virtual drives.) This laptop is too old to run modern video games.

Yes. I have run all expansion packs on an old Compaq with 2GB Memory and it did OK; we are currently running on a Dell laptop with 3GB Memory and it does just fine. I would not expect you to have any trouble.

Yes, I am using it on a Dell XPS 8500 w/windows 7, 64-bit with no problems.

Yes it works for me. Do not use the MS drivers - Win7 installs its own. I use it in Battlefield 3 and other games with no issues.

T. Jackson I'm not sure if your computer has DDR3 ram it should work. look it up on goggle and Dell page. You have to check what your windows handle as well

You may want something a little faster. This is really a budget computer. I don't know the hardware requirements for Sims 3. Online course might be OK.

This is a fully functioning laptop, so any game that runs on windows should be able to run on it. Hope that helps.

Matt,While your motherboard does have the PCI Express graphics slot required for this card, your 300 watt power supply in the Inspiron 570 desktop will not work. You will need a power supply of at least 400 watts with a 6-pin PCI-E power connector and a minimum of 20 Amp on the +12 volt rail.

My understanding is that it should be compatible however, I am using mine in an older Alienware machine so I cannot verify for certain.

I installed this in an older Dell Dimension 5150 with Windows 7 operating system. The Windows 7 Operating System recognized the video card and automatically installed the drivers. No problems with installation.

If your already playing Sims 3 then there's no reason the Pets expansion pack should run on an already running video card. If you need a video card then the better question to ask is whether the mother board supports the video card, and the operating system supports the video card. If your running Windows with DirectX 11 then there's no game you can't play on that video card, though you may have to download DOSbox to play older games, and games specifically designed for non Windows operating systems will require a virtualization of the other operating system while running Windows.
