Alright, that is good, your machine uses the lights instead of beeps, and it appears that it passes those tests.

When you connect your monitor to the computer, does it connect to the same place as your keyboard, mouse, etc connect, or does it connect over a but in an area where there are a bunch of slots? If it is the area with the slots then it is probably a card that you can replace. If it is grouped with the rest of the standard connections it is probably built onto the motherboard.

Alternatively, you can usually go to Dell's site and plug in the info for your computer and it should tell you about your computer, things like what type of video it came with, type of memory, etc.
