Silly me & PCI

I thought I could install a PCI card to upgrade to USB 2. on my 4300. See
post of 12/15. I bought such a card. I opened the case and the only place I
see to install the card is to replace the card attached to the serial port.
Is that what I do? The Dell directions in its manual speak of a filler card
to take out and replace with a PCI card, but I see no such thing. Silly
me-it looked easy.

Do you have a 4300S?

Did the instructions say remove a filler card or filler bracket?
I have a 4300 and have added a couple of PCI cards. I responded to your
first post about the USB2.0 and firewire card.
