Answer 5

Go to the Dell support site & look for your model of computer, it'll tell you exactly what you have in there. However as most come with an onboard graphics chipset I very much doubt it. You could also open up the side & have a look, if there is nothing in the agp/pci-e slot then you don't have it!
