    What?

    Your system supports certain desktop video cards, not mobile video cards.

    Your system, the XPS 210 has 1 half-height PCIe x16 slot. It also only has a 275-watt power supply, you are limited to what kind of video card you can put in there. Your going to want to look into a low-profile video card that requires a powersupply with less than 270-watts.
