Dell Studio Xps 9000 Gts 250 and ati hd5850

will the gts 250 or the hd5850 fit in my studio xps 9000??? I don't like it because it has the hd4350 in it.

Also do yall know if i have to unscrew anything to put them in besides the already in it hd4350 ?

If they are both PCI express cards (i assume they are) they should fit just fine, replacing the 4350.  Just open the case, unscrew the holding screw that locks the 4350 in and take it out ... there should be a 'locking lever' on the pci express slot that you will have to move to the side to get the card out..

One thing I would check is to make sure that your power supply can handle the cards.  Some cards require more power then the PSU can deal with and it will harm your computer.  Also check to make sure you dont need any extra power cables to connect to the card.  It should say its requirements on the box.
