You need to remove the access panel on your computer, then check if you have a PCI-e x1 slot on your motherboard. If you enlarge the Vantec FireWire photo you will see gold pins at the bottom of the card. Your PCI-e X1 slot will be just about that size. You will need to remove an expansion slot cover to install the card. Then screw and secure the card to the top of the expansion slot.

I was going to say go to the Dell web site but I just looked, their entire presentation of this model is aimed at the layman and doesn't really say much. under slots it only lists memory, call Dell or maybe look inside to see if you have a pci-e slot.

I just bought one of these and installed it in my E machine T5020 with Windows 7 32 bit. It is a PCI card not a PCI express. Although in the box it also says PCI express, but it is actually a PCI card. I hope this helps.

It will fit a PCI slot but will not fit the newer PCI express slots. Most newer computers have PCI express and no longer have the older PCI slots. The card is made to look like it will fit a PCI express 16 slot but it will not. So people are duped into ordering a card that will not fit in the newer computers. Look at the slots on your computer if it is white and the smaller plug is on the right it is an older PCI slot, if the slot is black and the smaller plug is on the left it is a PCI express and this card will not fit. There is also a smaller PCI express slot. Look at your available slots to see what you need to get. It will fit a PCI slot but will not fit the newer PCI express slots.

Looks like it should have a PCIe 1X and 16X slot. This card will work in the 16X slot, but most likely you'll have a video card in this slot. It will not work in the 1X slot. Do a google image search for PCIe 2X, 8X and 16X slots and compare the images to your slots.

Yes,with the caveat that you make sure bus (PCI,Ph I Express) matches the card. I am surprised that your computer is running Vista tolerablywith so little RAM,but congratulations.

you don't have the particular slot to put this card in, go with this one instead, make sure you pick the one that is new and also from Kens computer shop:

All you do is plug it into your PCI express spot. For me this was right next to my graphics card. All you do is line up the card and the spot, plug it in and then that's all.

If I knew more about your rig or oem, I might be able to answer with a better answer. Did you look at the requirements? Can your mobo do PCI Express (x1, x4 or x16)?? If your machine is 32bit it, can only do 2GB of RAM unless your OS is XP 64x which is critical because this device requires 1GB of RAM. I cant say a definite "yes" or "no" in response to your question. I suggest you Google, Google and Google some more. Cheers and good luck.

Yes this card is compatible with any pci express slot 1x and above. I have mine plugged into my PCI-express x 16

If it has a pci-express slot and power/supply has 6 pin pci plug you should be good to go.Make sure you download drivers and AMD applicable performanceprograms i.e. AMD catalyst. Good Luck.... Rudy

Yes, you still need to install an internal card. Hopefully you have some vacant PCIe slots in your computer.

Dirk, when I purchased the board last year I may not have acknowledged its PCIe 3.0 expansion slots; but according to ASUS, all 6 slots are PCIe 3.0. Sorry if I provided misinformation, hope it didn't hinder or delay your build.
