Probably, mine was a dell 8250. I finally gave up refurbishing it and bought a refurbished tower from Walmart with windows 7 professional installed in it for 200 dollars

This graphics board does not use much power. I did not have any issues with my little hp desktop computers tiny power supply.

Hi Tom. For any card to work you need a couple of things: an available slot on your system board of the correct type and drivers that will allow the card to interface with your operating system. If you have these two things it "should" work. I don't know what mean by a "250 watt PCI card".

Works with Win 7 except if you try and run Windows experience to upgrade the computer rating, the Windows experience program with hangup.

It's really more complicated than that, the card itself is 60W TDP (Thermal Design Point). You must consider your system's makeup -- i.e. processor, expansion cards, USB devices, drives, # monitors, and memory. Try searching on "power supply calculators" to see.That said, this card's TDP is so low, most systems should run it fine. A 300W PSU with an i7 CPU and lots of peripherals might have issues.

If your Dell Motherboard supports 400Mhz memory you are ok. Check you pc max of memory for you model see in dell.com 400 and 333 Mhz are compatible.it will work a little faster than the units you replaced.

You will need to upgrade your power supply to have stable performance with this card. I recommend at least a 500 watt.

I upgraded my dell e310 stock 230W to a starpower ATX 350W from MicroCenter for $60 just before upgrading to this card. No Problems I've been running for 8 months

The seller sent me low profile adapters with mine. Might want to contact seller before it ships to make sure they put the adopters with the card. I have mine in a small form factor Dell and works great. Win7

I installed the video card into a Dell Inpsiron 560 which only has a 300W power supply and I have been viewing two displays since beginning of September 2014 with no issues. This video card was an upgrade recommendation per my service tag number on the Dell website which helped me decide compatibility with my computer. I also used two Monoprice (4826) DP (DisplayPort) Male to HDMI® Female Adapter to convert the video card output to HDMI for my monitors. No external power was needed to support the Monoprice adapters.

I have bought this card 1 unit last year. It fit with my DELL 3010DT running in Windows 7 without any problem.I check that your model have 1 half height PCIe x16 and 1 half height PCIe x16(wired x 4).I think this card will not fit with your PC model

The instructions say that a 450W power supply is the minimum required. My power supply has 650W, so it's never been an issue. As for compatibility with the Dell motherboard, I would be quite surprised if that was an issue. It fits into a PCI slot, which seems pretty standard these days. It also requires supplementary power from a PCI-E connector, but an adaptor is included that allows you to get that power from standard MOLEX power connectors -- the kind used to power hard drives before SATA came along. By the way, I've been quite happy with this card!

It depends on the type of slots in your system and what OS you're running. I have a SFF Dell 740 and needed the shorter card (height and length) for the slot size. I'm also running Windows 8.1. It's working fine for me out of the box, plug and play. That is, I installed the card, powered my system back on and Windows located the appropriate driver for it and installed it. I also downloaded the latest release of the ATI Catalyst control center software.

I don't know. I'm not a computer person. I called a tech guy to install my card for me when I got it. I have a Dell XPS Windows 7 and it runs fine.

You will most likely need to update the power supply. Be weary that dell supports small power supplies and graphics cards in their cases.

It has a lot of wattage. I am pretty sure it would work. I don't think those cards will draw that much. As long as you are not running 4 hard drives with it, it will work.

MSI recommends a 350w or greater power supply. Having said that, other reviewers here say they're working fine with as little as a 250w supply. It will all depend on what else is going on with your particular PC. Start adding other things like extra CD or disk drives, extra PC or PCIE cards for other purposes, and you'll have issues. This card is good to upgrade PCs that otherwise cannot be upgraded, especially slimline machines.

This card needs a minimum 300 watt PSU according to Nividia web site. sorry Make sure you keep the dust blown out of your computer, it will add years to its life. Ed

How old is your PC box? Do you know your processor? This card only draws around 25 watts at load (give or take a few watts). So a properly working 250-watt power supply should do the job. If the power supply is no-brand & older than 3 years, I would probably look at replacing the power supply. Get a 350 watt power supply by a good brand like Antec. Worth the small price to replace what typically goes first in a store-bought box unit.
