I was just looking on Dell's site real quickly. It appears that the Dimension 4100 is an 815E chipset based motherboard. So, basically you are limited to only 512 MB of RAM. It's not by Dell's design, it's actually by Intel's chipset design.
I have an Asus CUSL2 motherboard which has an 815E chipset as well, so I'm stuck with the 512 MB of RAM barrier. It's not a big deal, though. You will hardly ever need 1 gigabyte of RAM, not unless it's a server. Plus, if you're using Windows 95/98/ME, then you're pretty much stuck with the OS limitation of 512 MB of RAM, anyway.
