Okay, I've got a Dell Inspiron 2600 that has the stock onboard crap video card that steals 8mb of the RAM to do its work. There was an optional upgrade for the 2600 where you could get a 16mb GeForce 2 video card.

If I bought one of those cards that had been pulled out of an Inspiron 2600 would it be a simple matter of swapping into mine and having the drivers ready?

Or are the laptop powers-that-be going to laugh at me and refuse to let me upgrade?
