open the case and look, usually there's "pcie_x16" printed on the motherboard just above the slot...and yeah it's worth it!

Sometimes in the manual it'll show the whole inside of the PC, which could give you a better idea. If not you should at least tell us the Dell Desktop version you got...like XPS??? Other than that we can't guess that info for you.

From another thread he posted, its a Dimension 3100. It doesn't have a PCI-E slot or AGP, only one lonely PCI slot. So I'd say he's kinda screwed
