You need a Drive with and ide connector so your choices are fairly limited. Tiger Direct is a very reputable company with great deals on computer parts so get this one from Tiger Direct:

Replacing a cd drive

The 4600 has PowerDVD to play DVDs (You should have the software CD to install it on the 3000) DVD burning software would be Roxio/Sonic, and you should have that CD too.
If you don't have the CDs, then try download.com to download Free player software and Burning software

Dell Dimension 3000 accepts IDE hard drive. Any modern IDE drive should be fine

DVD - RW WONT WORK -

Unfortunately optical drives do have a short life span, you can buy a replacement from newegg.com so cheaply these days its not worth messing with the old one.
I have just bought a DVD-RW dual layer OEM (so I had the burning software with it) for a new build I am doing for $28 plus delivery.

I want to upgrade from cd rw to dvd/cd rw

If you are looking to replace the internal drive, then as long as you purchase a drive with the same interface it will work. If you are looking for a USB external drive then any one will work.

The only thing Dell was correct with is it should have +/- signs.
