• Dual gpus?

I have the Dell Inspiron 531s, and its one like you see in schools with the monitor set on top. That slim. So I have an ATI 2400 pro now. That's the best I can get in this slim bastard. I was wondering if I could get another one and stick it in the other slot and my graphics would be faster, but i'm not too sure how it all works. Like do you just stick it in and it uses both graphics cards without any setup?

Wrong wrong wrong. Just because it's old it doesn't mean it can't play games. The 2400 compares to a geforce 8500 Also @ OP, it would not help performance at all.

I have no money so I was just trying to make the best of what I got.
How fast is "decent"? Wait, isn't that a high-profile card?
That card doesn't have a crossfire connector. Depending on what slots you have, you'll probably need to get a single gpu.

Oh come on guys, you even forgot to ask him if theres another pci connection on his motherboard, and if it's some standard prebuilt I highly doubt it does have one. TL;DR: You can't. Get a new computer.

It still takes up two slots doesn't it? Or is the width the problem?
