I have a Dell desktop, and I would like to change my Video Card?

As the header states, I have a dell desktop and would like to change the video card in it. I just bought it and wasn't really thinking before I purchased it (all I cared about were the ram/memory, seeing as how I mainly use it to do work). The video card it came with can not run ANY FPS games, only a select few. Even the select few tend to lag during game play, whether it be online, or 1 player. Since I just got the computer, it has a warranty, and if memory serves right, if I change anything such as a video card, my warranty will become void. Is there any way to change/upgrade my memory card through dell, and not void my warranty? Will Dell allow me to send them my desktop, and have them change my video card? If so, how much am I looking at? An estimate perhaps. Thanks in advance.I have a Dell desktop, and I would like to change my Video Card?
Dell machines = garbage..



gateway, compaq, hp and dell, pretty much all the same.



You can upgrade the card via Dell, but you better have lube because they will make you use it.



I would: make sure of the type of video slot you have, agp, pci, pci -express or none and act accordingly.



To install a video card, all you do is drop your system to a VGA mode and shut it down. While down, install card. Restart and load drivers (on disk or dl from the video card maker's site)I have a Dell desktop, and I would like to change my Video Card?
Go online to Dell and enter your service tag. Your machine and all details about it will become available to you . You will be able to follow Dell's exact instructions to fix your issues and stay within your warranty as Dell has some upgrades that fall within the do-it-yourself category. Any and all upgrade parts will be explained to you, and then you be able to shop around for the best price on what you need and want.
