One thing I'd check is your power supply. It may also limit your upgrade unless you are willing to replace it. From what I can gather Dell doesn't put a very strong PS into that computer so I'd look for a video card that doesn't require a 6 pin PCI-E connector. ATI has video cards in the 5xxx series that fit this requirement. The best that I know of being the HD5670. NVDIA also has cards like this. The next problem is finding a low profile card if it is needed. Perhaps check out the Dell support forums.
