    Ok.

    Software I'm a king with, but I'm a newbie when it comes to hardware.

    Does anybody know if it's possible to trade out (either myself or professionally) my video card for a higher end card? And if so, what kinds of crazy tricks would I have to do to install such a thing?

    It runs wonderfully and I haven't had any problems with it,
    but
    I really want to be able to do more with it. (specifically gaming ha!)

    Many thanks! :D

    It would only be possible if Dell released another card in the same form factor. So no, it's not possible right now, but it may be possible in the future.
