How do I tell whether or not a BFG GeForce 7950 GT / 512MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card is compatable with my computer...

My comp is a Pentium 4 Dell Dimension XPS dual processer with 2.8 GHz and 2.79GHz... and 1.00 GB RAM

What model number? You could go to dell.com and find the specs for your computer, you need to know if it has a pciexpress slot.

You also need to know what watt psu it has in it and then see what the card manufactuer recommends

the PSU information is very important. you need to tell us what model number dell it is or motherboard (preferably model number of the dell cause theres enough info about that) then we can let u know if the card will be supported
