it says..

"Expansion Slots
1 half-height PCIe x1

So, can i buy THIS?--http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Buffalo-...atOid/-12981/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

The one you linked to is a full height card (although the PCB is about half height, the PCI bracket is full height)

What's in the Box
? Low-profile bracket

It will work. since the box includes the low-profile bracket, even though the ad shows it with the full height bracket.

Like TG2 said, you need a card with a low profile bracket. I can't tell if the one from CC comes with a low profile bracket or not. This one from Newegg comes with the type of bracket you need for that Dell XPS.

Edit: PELarson is correct. The Circuit City card also comes with the "Low Profile" bracket.

I missed the fact that the Dell doesn't have a PCI slot only PCI-Express slots. So no the card won't work.
