Geforce's rock. This one is pretty good. It's an AGP. PCI express is better but you need pci slots to put it in. If you do, go with pci.

This one is pci express, has twice the mem and is 45 bucks cheaper.

Edit

Make sure your power supply can handle the new card you buy!!!

need to know a bit more info.

are you in europe or north america, or asia?

where did you buy your current computer, and how old is it?

do you know the model number, or what kind of motherboard you have?

Didn't know it was a laptop. No it won't. Good luck with that. You'll have to have someone install it unless you know your way around the inards of a laptop. The one you picked isn't for a laptop either.

I would call dell and see if they can even change the vid card. Dell would be the one to swap them out if they can at all. good luck.
