Hi, I've found out that my Dimension 4100 agp slot pumps out about 3.3 volts, now I can't find out if the radeon 9250se is compatible with 3.3volts or 1.5, I can't find that info anywhere, any help is greatly appreciated, as Ive had nothing but probs with this video card.

Dell 4100 series has an Intel 815E chipset based motherboard that supports AGP4X graphics (1.5V)
The Radeon 9250 is an 8X AGP card but is backward compatible with 4X AGP slot so should work.
See RADEON 9200 series SPEC BELOW:
Intel® Pentium® 4/III/II/Celeron™, AMD® K6/Duron™/Athlon®/Athlon XP® or compatible with AGP 2X (3.3V), 4X (1.5V), 8X (0.8v) or Universal AGP 3.0 bus configuration (2X/4X/8X) or PCI bus.
Many sites indicate the Dell 4100 series as having a Geforce2 GTS fitted, which in it's day was quiet a respectable performing card. The 9250 is definately faster but I wouldn't have thought by a great amount especially when considering the older platform restrictions.
On an older system like this a better (higher performing option and cheaper) would be a used:
Geforce4 4200/4400/4600Ti series (not MX)or
ATI Radeon 9500/9600 series
