I don't play games or watch movies on this computer; however I suspect my current 34MB may be running out of gas. I was also advised to make sure the replacement card matches the motherboard's electrical capacity (3.3?). Also, what is the difference between DDR and SDR for cards? Does it make any difference? My card has a fan and I want the replacement to have one too.|||The 6600gt is about the best you are going to get for an agp and under $100.
I personally have one and its going to a a giant leap above anything thats in your dell.
Here is one from Newegg.com

About the RAM, you definately have sdram, not ddr. You should upgrade if you dont have at least 512mb.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||Dell Dimension 4100 has Bus type AGP (version 2.0).
The AGP 2.0 specification defined 1x, 2x and 4x speeds with the 3.3v, or 1.5v keyed connector or a 'Universal' connector which supported both card types.
Dell Dimension 4100 has Power DC power supply: Wattage 200 W
You will need to use a higher wattage power supply to power most video cards. That motherboard may need a Dell to ATX Power Supply Converter to use a non-Dell replacement power supply.
