    If your computer has an AGP slot it will work. That card doesn't require any more power than a factory PSU because it just runs off of the motherboards power from the AGP slot... By the way your computer according to Dells website claims to have a PCIEx1 slot only, no AGP nor a PCIEx16... So your card will have to be a plain PCI slot card... http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/dell-dimension-e3... This video is all about your system...

    Hi, wrong card the GMA900 is guru's new driver. Everything you have will support a better card like a ATi HD2600XT; online $150.(512MB) DDR3

    It's a major improvement, make sure you have an open PCI slot though.
