As long as you have a pci express-16x slot it will fit and the power supply should be at least 500 watts

I am using the card in a couple of old Dell OptiPlex computers with power supplies that are limited to 305W maximum output; all is well. Unless you have three hard drives or other non-typical loads, my educated guess is that the card will work just fine with your 280W power supply.

It may be possible to place this card in a 530, however, this card requires external 6 pin power to plug into. Like this [:::] . Now if your power supply does not support this, you may be able to combine two D shell power cables into one 6 pin. The D shell looks like this \eeee/ . Finally you may want to look at the power/current it draws and determine of your power supply can supply the current on the 12 Volt rails. DIY gaming is fun but not for the faint of heart. These ARE the things to consider.

Best bet is to contact Dell with your question directly. The kind of upgrades you're talking about are run of the mill. Most people sooner or later upgrade video cards, storage & memory but of course you need the right slots. The Costco version of this PC shows both enough of the right kind of slots & a big enough power supply (460W).

I think it may depend on the motherboard in your computer. I installed this card into my Dell XPS 8500 running Win 8.1 and the machine won't even acknowledge that the card is there. Tried switching slots and everything, nada. Good luck.

You will most likely need to update the power supply. Be weary that dell supports small power supplies and graphics cards in their cases.

Yes it will work. I was running mine on a 500W psu. You won't get the PCI-e 2.0 speed from the card with a PCI-e slot, but it will still work.

Sorry, but no. The Dell Inspiron 660 does not have any PCI open slots, or any PCI slots at all, for you to install this card. That was one of Dells budget desktops and they did not come with much of anything for anyone to do any upgrading them.

Hi, Unless your system has a mSATA slot it will not work. This is the best info I could find for you. http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Dell-memory/Inspiron+Laptops%2FNotebooks/Inspiron+1420-upgrades.html

This is an AGP card, If your machine has an AGP slot it will work and you can call dell or look up the specs. Most machines have a PCI or PCI-express graphics slot.

My suggestion would be a 450 watt power supply. I had just upgraded to a 600 watt before I bought the card. When I researched this card originally, people said that the original 300 watt would work but I think it needs the extra wattage.

If Dell has a Customer Support service, I'd ask them. My guess is that it probably would since power supplies are pretty generic.

I don't know for sure. I have a Inspiron 530 which is 4 or 5 years old now and it dropped right in. The computer found it without any issues and works much better than the USB doggle I hand prior to that. When I installed it, it seemed as though it was piggy backing the video board on the motherboard (i.e. I don't think it would work on a non Dell computer).

you can go to dell website and type in the service tag (serial number) from the back of the computer. then the dell website will give you the dell part number usually 5 digit number with letters mixed, then you can take the part number to google web site and type the part number in and it will give you all of the compatable power supplies for that computer I can not confirm that the Delta Electronics power supply, model DPS-350VB-1 A is the right power supply for the Dell Inspiron 530
