In order for someone to answer this question, they would need to know  
the specs of the Dell displays. While I suspect that the NVIDIA Ge  
Force 7300 GT can drive either Dell displays (again, with the proper  
specs, that can be confirmed) but Apple also makes other, higher end  
cards with more capabilities than the NVIDIA 7300 GT that, depending  
on what you want to do (which we also don't know), may be better  
choices.
