    Does anyone know if a Inspiron 9200 can be upgraded from the ATI Radeon 9700 to the Nvidia geforce 9800 video card.

    Both the cards look like they are the same shape or size.

    Well there is no such thing as a geforce 9800. What you're referring to is a geforce 6800 card and no it can't be upgraded to that. The 6800 is based off pci-express and probably has a different form factor + power reqs.

    just so you know, if im right Dell, just uses generic pictures in its tech support pages like that. Its just a reference to where the card is.

    *Dell Inspiron 9300, P-M 1.86ghz 533mhz FSB, 1GB DDR2 533mhz ram, 17inch UXGA+ screen with TrueLife, 256mb Nvidia GeForce 6800, 60gb 7200rpm drive, XP Pro SP2, WiFi*

    *Sony MDR-G74SL Headphones for music and gaming, best 40 dollar pair i have ever bought!*
