It's not entirely clear what you're doing, but it if's replacing an integrated board with the nVidia, you will need to replace the heatsink assembly and verify that you have a 90W or higher AC adapter (the 65W unit works fine with Intel video but won't with nVidia).
The assembly for the nVidia board has a separate heasink for the GPU, whereas the Intel version just has a heatsink over the CPU.

If you have an XPS L502x system that currently has discrete video, yes. If you currently have another model - no, the board won't fit any other chassis. And if you currently have the version of the system with an Intel GPU, you'll need a new heatsink assembly and possibly a higher-capacity power adapter to move to this board. The CPU will work with this board.

Hi ejn63 i used HWiNFO64 and it lists the intel GPU as being intergrated but it dosn't list that information for the Nvidia GT 525M.
