If you have an integrated graphics card (Intel GMA 950, I assume, since I can't find the line detailing the GPU), you will be unable to upgrade it without changing motherboards.

Other than that, just reinstall the OS/remove all the garbage from it. You don't need the 40+ services that start with a default Dell installation.

yeah, you can't upgrade integrated...i hope you weren't planning to, you should have checked first.
