Is this a PCI x1 compatible card?Is this compatible with XP SP3 32bit?Does the card require a certain power supply?

PCIe x1 - Yes, that was why I picked it. Almost all 1GB cards seem to be x16, but I needed something that would drive dual monitors and fit a x1 slot in a compact case. Plus previous Zotac graphic cards worked well for me.M$ WinXP, not sure, but I would expect it.I don't remember any PSU connection to the card. If there was one it was a generic plugin for the fan

It is a PCI-E 1x Card (not PCI)I think so, but it'd be best to check Zotac's siteNo special power supply needed, it draws it's power from the slot

it is recommended to have 300w power supply but some people report using 250w and it works for them

PCIE x1, the tiny port, yes. Yes, it is compatible with XP SP3 32, both home and Pro.The card draws current from the "PCIE X1" port, so no additional connectors needed.

yes. the motherboard features a pcie 16X port and the case includes a 525W PSU with two 6-pin gpu power adapters (or at least it should, you will need to open the case and check the PSU to be absolutely sure) which is barely above the minimum 500W for the card, if you do not OC the card or the CPU you should be fine, a PSU upgrade to 600-650W wouldn't hurt tho. check with dell support if your XPS does not require any kind of esoteric PSU standard.

yes it works the machine that I put the card in is running windows 8.1 just get the updated drivers from ATI should work fine

If you mean the short versus the longer slots (X1 or X 16) it doesn't matter.It is only going to draw the power that it needs because the connectors are only going to connect in a X1 (short slot) mode. The main issue is that you connect the card to an internal power supply, either the Molex connector or the SATA style connector; whichever one will fit. My suggestion is to install it in one of the X1 (short) slots and save the longer slots for something like a video card. Windows 7 will find drivers for it but it's a good idea to use the driver disk that came with it. You're not going to get super blazing speed unless you have some super blazing adapter or protocol installed which most USB 3.0 devices do not have. However, I have been very happy with this device even though I know I'm not going to get the full throughput that is commonly advertised for USB 3.0. You have to read the advertisements carefully because they say UP TO 400+ megabits per second.

Yes, it would work perfectly. Just need to plug it into the PCI x16 slot and you would be good to go. Of course, you would a good enough power supply for the card too. 500 watt or higher PSU should do the trick.

It's a standard PCI-X card which plugs into your motherboard. The power supply required is determined by the chassis you are using and the motherboard's requirements. As long as your computer's power supply provides enough power to supply all the components in your computer it should work fine.

Very likely, yes. It is PCIe 2.1, but PCIe is backwards compatible with 1.1 and 1.0 slots. This is a fairly low-power card as well. I've actually cut half the pins off and plugged it into an X8 slot and it still works perfectly for my needs. This card also comes with a low-profile bracket if you need that.

Yes. That's the exact card I upgraded to and it didn't need a power supply. Easy install with the interior layout of the Hellion.

It should work just fine. This card is not too demanding on power needs and your PC has the correct slot connection, etc. it's easy to install. This card doesn't get hot either as long as its not crowded and all of your system fans are flowing air.

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!

Only requires PCI-Express 2.0 x1 Slot. But it is compatible with all others. You will NOT see any real speed boost from using a faster slot.

Should be. I can't make any promises, but this is a newer card which should be a good replacement for the card you mention. The only thing you would need to check is that it supports XP.

Yes..Put it in the X16 slot. (You have 1) . You will also need at least a 500 watt PSU and 2... 6 pin power plugs for this card.

Yes a PCI-E x1 card will work in the PCI-E x16 slot on this motherboard. You will just be utilizing the first 18 pins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Pinout

Not only that, but it will highly boost your system's performance. This card will work with any PCI express slot, but word to the wise, it comes with a weird little cord that looks like trash, that's actually your power cord. You have to plug it into the motherboard AND plug the cord into one of your power supply wires. I spent an hour staring at it, wondering why it wasn't working before i thought to plug that cord in! Hope this helps.

Not sure if I could answer that. I use it as a basic PC. It has 1 x PCI Express x16 slot and 1 x PCI Express x1 slot. I would pick the best available based on reviews on places like Newegg. Sorry if that isn't much help.

Yes, all PCI x slots are compatible with one another. The slot ultimately controls the speed though, so it won't perform as quickly as it could. But honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference.Also, the other commenter may have just had a bad experience. This card is fantastic and I've never had a single issue.
