Hi,

That card should be fine in your Dimension 3100.

I found the same card cheaper here: Innovision GeForce FX5200 256MB DDR DVI VGA PCI Graphics Card - Ebuyer

If you mean DDR on the graphics card then there's no problem with using it with your PC....the graphics card has its own memory (could be DDR1, DDR2, DDR3) and will work in any PC..... if you mean using DDR or DDR2 ram IN your PC then there's a BIG difference! - your PC is either DDR or DDR2 but not both. So check before adding more memory (use Crucial.com)

I'd get this 6200 PCI card for £34
