You are correct. They are Dimms that are EDO. And they will be hard to find.
Here are the specs from Dell:

      Memory
      Architecture 64-bit (nonparity) or 72-bit (parity) EDO, noninterleaved
      Wait states near 0
      DIMM sockets 2, gold contacts
      DIMM capacities 16-, 32-, 64-, and 128-MB nonparity (Gn uses
unbuffered DIMMs)
      Standard RAM 16 MB
      Maximum RAM 256 MB
      Cache memory 256-KB pipelined-burst, direct-mapped, write-back SRAM
or,
      512-KB pipelined-burst, direct-mapped, write-back SRAM on systems with
Enhanced Manageability (EM)
      BIOS address F0000h


You can find out more by going to:

http://www.dell.com/us/en/gen/default.htm

and click on support, then select the system you have, to find out more
about your system.
