I was looking at a SPARKLE SX84GS256D2LDPP GeForce 8400 GS 256MB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card for my Inspiron 530S slim tower. I have a 32 bit computer. Will this video card fir into my computer?|||Yes, any low-profile ready card will fit inside your slim tower. You might need to switch the brackets on the back of the card, that's all. Low-profile ready cards come with standard and low-profile brackets in the box, you don't know which will be attached when you open the package.
Vulcan guy is right, the 8400GS is a waste of space. It's just a cheap card - better than Intel's integrated motherboard video, but that's about all. It's fine for watching movies and web browsing, but it's too slow for games.
Get a low-profile ready Radeon HD 4650 or GeForce GT220, those are ok cards that don't cost much and work with your Dell's power supply.

Even a Radeon HD 5450 or GeForce 210 beats the crappy GeForce 8400GS. Check out the performance below.
