Thanks for all of the responses so far.
I'm pretty sure my card is PCI-e based on this webpage I found: http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_7300.html.

Dell used to (may not now) switch one pin on the ATX power connector so if you tried to use a non-dell PSU in your machine it would torch your motherboard... That was a fun discovery for several of...
