I was thinking of purchasing another graphic card.
I currently have an ATI Radeon HD 5770.
Will my motherboard support two ATI's?
Should I use two graphic cards, or just purchase a new, better card?

it's only got a single pci-e slot, so you'd have to upgrade to a faster card and you'll want to upgrade the PSU, it only comes with a 420w or something close to that.
 
From what I see on Dell's website the XPS 9100 has (1) pci-e 16X slot and (1) pci-e 8X slot so you can use two graphic cards. But it only has a 525 watt power supply which I think is a little low. I think 600 watt is the minimum spec for CrossfireX and I would recommend a 700-750 watt for extra headroom/future upgrades.

You can also see that the 5770 drop down is greyed out...

I think it's greyed out because the slot is not populated.
 
No I've been looking more and I'm not sure, that link was for a XPS 9100 not a XPS 9000.

Can you take the side panel off and post a picture BigBroski?
