USB 2.0 pci card into Dimension 4100 124 pin pci slot

Will a new USB 2.0 pci card fit into my 8 year old computers 124 pin pci
card slots? Do I have to look for a new pci card that says it is a 124 pin
card?

No problem. The Dimension 4100 has a PCI 2.2 bus.

Thanks for that info. The last card I put in was a 56k modem card 7 years
ago. These new cards look so much smaller than that one. But I guess the
card doesn't have to take up the whole slot.

That is correct. The electronics has gotten so small that most cards would be miniscule if they did not have connectors on them and have to physically fit the card slot.
