There is the Password jumper (PSWD), and the CMOS jumper.

The CMOS battery is also termed the RTC battery.
Real Time Clock battery.
The CMOS jumper is labeled as RTCRST.

Real Time Clock ReSeT.

Jumper pin location is confusing if you go with Dell documentation.

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/op330/en/ug/mtparts.htm#wp1607303


Dell Support documentation shows the RTCRST jumper pins near the Intel chipset, and PSWD jumper pins near the outside edge of the motherboard.

I'm also looking at the Dell Optiplex 330, Technical Guidebook, Inside the Optiplex 330,

http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/optix_330_techspecs.pdf

Location of RTCRST jumper pins, is near the left corner of the Intel chipset, instead of the right as shown above, and PSWD jumper pins are in the same location.

And several views of Optiplex 330 motherboard's on Ebay,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-330-Motherboard-Socket-775-KP561-/140870576837?pt=Motherboards&hash=item20cc8a6ac5

(Nice to have that Zoom in feature on Ebay now)

Jumper pins close to the white SATA 2 connector, are the RTCRST jumper pins.

Jumper pins at the bottom side of the Intel chipset are the PSWD jumper pins.

Jumper cap stays on PSWD jumper pins.
No jumper cap on the RTCRST jumper pins.

How to remove SMPS in Dell Optiplex 330?

Open the case, remove the cpu cooling fan, then remove the cpu itself.
Under the cpu you will see many small pins. Cut off the one closest to the bottom left. This will permanently remove your SMPS so be sure before proceeding.

Graphics Card
Minimum Requirement
VRAM (256 MB)

Your Dell has an Intel GMA 3000 onboard with up to 256 MB shared memory and isn't listed so probably isn't supported.
