I have a Dell 9150 that came with a nvidia 6800 PCI-e graphics card, i would like to update this to a 512mb nvidia 7950GT PCI-e but i am unsure if i can just swap them or if i need to check any further specs of my computer (i know some cards require additional power supplies) - what should i be looking for?

get this and run it. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php it will show you everything you need to know about your pc and wheter or not that card will work for you without further upgrades, ie: powersupply.

Also open the case and check the unused power leads from your power supply, The Nvidia cards use a special connector to get power from the power supply but most newer computers have them and if not you can get an adapter.

That should be fine, as long as it's a PCI-e 16x slot. You might have to reload the drivers, but that's about all you will have to do.
