Sure, just exchange it with the ATI. Check though the power requirements and how that compares with the ATI.

No Reason Why not, just make sure you do as whs says and check the power ratings first, is it a custom build pc or OEM. But once installed that would be a mean machine!

Never mind i can't because the graphics card needs to be a minimum of 400w and my stock dell 375w psu won't handle it. Anyone recommend a Dell friendly 400+ semi cheap psu?
