Radeon 4xxx-series graphics should work, 5xxx-series should be better than vesa. A dive into the horrible Dell web site seems to indicate a Vostro 1088 has a Radeon 4530. Web searching indicates some of the Inspirons with i3 processors can be had with Radeon 4xxx-series graphics. Many Dells have nVidia, but I have not paid attention to which of those work and which do not.
