You can put those cards in, but they might not run without a power supply upgrade- especially the 8800. If your system has a 375W power supply you're probably ok. If you've got a 305w or lower, then you'll need a better one to run those video cards.
Here's a company that sells higher-wattage power supplies for Dell systems (the silencer series) since Dell Dimensions don't use standard ATX.
I had to upgrade to a Silencer 470 in order to use a GeForce 7900GT.

I don't believe that the 8100 has that slot. I have the 8100 as well and I remember when I was looking for a card that I couldn't put the x16 card in.
