Dell XPS 410 DXP016 Upgrading Video Card
Hey guys, I have a Dell XPS 410, DXP016 is the Model, and I was wondering If I could upgrade my graphics card to this:
My System Specs are:
------------------
System Information
------------------
Time of this report: 8/20/2009, 20:54:01
Machine name: (WITHHELD :emotion-4:)
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090206-1234)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
System Model: Dell DXP061
BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 2.4.2
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs)

Page File: 472MB used, 3466MB available
Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Display Devices

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE

Chip type: GeForce 7300 LE
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Display Memory: 512.0 MB
Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor
So as you can see from that I have a horrible Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE and I really want to upgrade it to the video card in the link I provided. I don't know my exact power supply but I've heard that Dell XPS 410s have 375W Power Supplys. The card in the link says I only need a 350W Power Supply. I want to confirm that I have a 375W PSU and I also want to know if I can put the graphics card provided into my computer without blowing it up!
Please respond, I'm eager to find out! :emotion-2:

Yes that will work in your system without any mods needed. It will be a big improvement over the 7300 you have now. Just don't expect to run any of the high end games at max settings.

Unless you just happen to have gift cards, I'm not sure why you would ever spend $100 for a 9500GT when you can get them for half the cost on Newegg. For example, THIS ONE is only $39.99 after a $20 MIR and would be faster with a 650Mhz core clock and the faster GDDR3 memory. Just giving you some options.

I know about newegg, but I've heard some bad rumors lately about it. Plus I usually don't ever buy stuff online, I am a instant gratification person. Besides 100$ isn't too bad, at least in my opinion. I'd call the extra money money I'm using to get it right away. I do thank you for your suggestions though :)
