It is possible - just make sure you get the 100 MHz bus version; the 133 won't work.

Did it myself several years ago - here's a link with lots of info: http://www.roberthancock.com/dell/
One link within that page, however, no longer works, and that was the one with pictures and details that I used.
Good luck!
