Just find out what type of slot you have, most likely AGP, if its older or a cheaper model you might have just PCI, or if it's really new you might have a PCI Express.  Anyway you can find this out in your manual or by going to Dell's website and clicking support.  After you find out just make sure you get a card that matches the type of slot you have and the install is easy;

You problem is due to wrong driver, cause Dell have their chipset, it require their driver for the right model, so it is not unusual to install the wrong one. \nAnother thing is may be you got a more powerful video card on the Dell, the onboard one is disabled, so even if you install the right dell driver, it cant help. \nIf your case is of the latter, you need to get more info from reading the print on the card, search for the right driver to install then you will be ok.

Well without knowing your computer specs it is difficult do you have an agp card or a pci-express card currently or if it is a really old system maybe even a pci card. \nOnce you know that it is rather simple by a new card of the type you need.\n1st remove the any divers and software for your old card\nthen shut system down and open case.\nremove the old card and insert the new card \n(note many video card slots have locking clips on the right side of the card slot)\nMake sure the card is fully seated and any locking clips engaged\nreconnect monitor to new card and reboot\nthen just use the installation cd to install new drivers and software and viola done

The first thing you want to do is bag windows 98 and get XP right away. Then if you want to get a new graphics card, you have to know what type of slot it is (PCI-AGP-PCIE) Then you can figure out which graphics card you need to get. Also, make sure that your power supply is enough to run a good card, you gunna wanna need at least 350 watts. Now if you want to go with a new sound card, I would recommend any Creative brand card either Audigy X-Fi etc... I would also recommend on getting more RAM for the "old Dell" \n\nI hope this helps!

Yes you can, if you follow some simple instructions about how to do it. \n\nYou can buy the memmory from kingston, http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=13246&mfr=Dell&model=Dimension+L700cxe%2FL800cxe%2FL900cxe&root=us&LinkBack=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingston.com&Sys=13246-Dell-Dimension+L700cxe%2FL800cxe%2FL900cxe&distributor=0&submit1=Search\nand they usually send you a small instructive on how to do it.

Is that... US dollars?  Anyway, what he said is correct, you can't change the graphics card on a laptop.  New ones will have either the Radeon X1400 or X1600 Mobility, Geforce 7400 or Geforce 7600 variants in them, on the mainstream end.  But you won't find any of them for less than $1000, more likely around $1300.  I don't know if you were only willing to spend $750 on a graphics card or $750 on a laptop with dedicated graphics, whatever the case, $750 for a graphics card is unheard of (unless you are planning to buy to Geforce 7900GTXs) and $750 for a laptop is too little to get a dedicated graphics card in it.  And as I said, you can't upgrade the graphics... in any laptop with the exceptions being from Dell and Alienware but only on the XPS line and a top of the line Alienware and you have to send it back to them for the upgrade.\n\nI agree, nVidia is the way to go but at $750 you aren't going to find one with a dedicated graphics card.  It's just not possible.  HP uses the Geforce 7400 Go in two of their laptop lines, however the lowest price I could get on that was $950 and it's not a very powerful machine.  To make it a machine worth owning you'll have to spend at least $1180 on it.  http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/compare_category.do;jsessionid=EzDMWYNTvmBgFd7wxkjFuFsDEFXtwJDWoOnsCNtWvRoGsThVNriv!1231286070?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks/hp_pavilion&catLevel=1

Support.dell.com has diagrams of the components, but they will not give you the design plans (which is what I think you are looking for)

Depends of the manufacturer. With DELL you can do this quite nicely: www.dell.com.

go to dell.com and then go to support & help/ drivers & downloads and download the video driver for your laptop

first, plug the on board video card back in to get to your control panel. \nsecond go to your control panel, click on system, then click on device manager. find your graphics card, and first check to see if the drivers for your new card are properly installed. if they are, find your onboard driver, probably located above the new one and click properties and disable that card, and enable the new card, restart your computer. That should work. \nthird, if your driver was not installed, install it, disable your old graphics card, enable your new card, shutdown. should be good to go from there.\nfourth, if that doesnt work maybe the card is not supported by your computer's mobo or processor. not sure what to do from there. gl
