Im just wondering if anyone knows or has already tried upgrading the video card to the nvidia 7950. I want to buy the Xps 210 but I would like to put a better card then what they offer in it. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

No, this is one of those slim case designs, and will not take this card. This type of system is VERY hard to upgrade, because almost all expansion cards are made for regular sized cases.

First make sure that the motherboard in this Dell has a PCIe x16 slot for the graphics card and make sure the power supply is rated high enough to support the th graphics card, I think the 7950 requires a 450Watt with a certain number of volts and amps, but you'll have to check the with the manufacturer's site to be certain. If both these are okay, then there is no reason you wouldn't be able to.
An easier way would be to contact Dell's sales department and tell them you want the better graphics card and they would likely be happy to help. They have gotten more customer oriented lately.
I, personally, don't buy Dell o any other big manufacturer, preferring to custom build my rigs. Thus far I have been able to do quite well.
