[OT] Computer question for you knowledgeable folks

A friend of Richard's gave him a free computer (it was a giveaway from
the guy's job) that works pretty well. It's a Dell, made for business
intentions. Unfortunately, Richard is a gamer, and has a couple of
games including Sim City 4, that he wants to play on it, but it seems to
need a 3-D graphics card to make that work very well.

So, a co-worker sold him a card for $40. It's a 6600LE GeForce NVIDIA
512 mb card. However, there seems to not be the right slot in the Dell
for this thing (it even has its own fan!). I think there is a
particular slot it needs go to into; the guy who sold it had it in an
orange slot, and all the slots on the Dell are white. I have no clue
what *any* of this means -- lol. But does anyone here much more
informed than I have any idea what he can do?

Thanks!
