The 6600GT card is 3/4 inch thick including the heatsink. The 9700Pro is about the same.

If you were to damage the motherboard removing the old videocard or replacing it with a new one, you'd probably void the warranty. Just replacing the card shouldn't be an issue just as adding ram or a new cdrom is fine. They won't warranty the new parts, so keep the old ones should you ever need to return it. That's how I understand things to be with Dell, but I'd call them first to be certain.
