right. ok
I was also looking at this card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102600
as it has a 500mhz core clock, 256mb memory, and its GDDR2 (which is better, right?) but it doesnt tell me the memory clock on it

Therin lies the problem, because Dell use Dell parts, there are no full specifications available for their motherboards (that i know of). I've just tried firing up trusty old Everest, and not even that will give me voltages for the AGP port/AGP version. Short of phoning up Dell or ordering a new motherboard i'm not sure there is a way of telling.
A word of caution though, I tried replacing a Geforce 2MX with a Geforce MX440 without checking voltages before, and the result was a crispy MX440 and the distinct smell of burning.
Sorry I can't be of more help
The best thing to do is google your card and get its AGP version/voltage. Then find a new card with the same.
Good luck!

didnt think about voltages, but now that i know that all AGP 4x/8x cards will work in AGP 2x/4x slots, heres some MORE sudgestions
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102670 (this one isnt in right now, but you could probably get it soon)
actually, thats the only new card i could come up with.
ive linked you all the good AGP 2x/4x through AGP 4x/8x cards for gaming between $50 and $100
good luck,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102410
which is the best assuming that they would all work.
And more importantly, HOW do I find out the voltages for them?
My card is a Geforce 4 ti4200 64mb card. Ive been looking for 30 minutes and cant find a clear answer to what the voltage is. If anyone could help me find out, I would appreciate it muchly.

this one for sure.
the 6600LE, its the surperior card. i have a 9800 PRO, and i cant do much gaming on it, because of the 64mb ram, anything below that is just crazy.
