A little more info on your system would be helpful. Fortunately, my parents have a dell 4700 so should be able to help you out. There is a PCI-E x16 slot in mine (verify that there is in yours too to make sure). As for the PSU...upgrading might not be a bad idea, I don't know the exact amps on the 12V rail but I could imagine it isn't very high. I'm too tired now to check but I'll pop open my parents case tomarrow and let you know.

can you use just any powersupply for dell or does it have to be a special one and can you buy one from dell
