Hmmm, low profile on a video card meant it was half height for low profile caes, or can it mean both?

I found out that I don't need to change my power supply. I just have to look for a video card that says low profile. Means uses low energy

Try doing a Google search for:
inspiron 530s power supply
You'll see a number of people explaining that your Dell uses a special
type of small form factor power supply that is not standard. You will probably not find a 400W power supply that will fit into your case, and connect properly.
As one person mentioned, you could consider taking all the insides out of your computer, and mounting them into a standard size case, which will accept a larger power supply.
If you can find a case that will accept the motherboard from your Dell.
That in itself sounds like a major project ..
sorry,

I looked on ebay and I'm seeing the highest under my model is 300 watts on ebay..Question is, is 300 watts the highest my system will go or could I install a higher wattage?
