Dell Dimension E520 Ram Upgrade
Replies: 3 | Post Date: 1 month ago | User: Dominic | Forums: answers.yahoo.comHow to upgrade ram on a dell dimension e520? Ok so i have the sims 3 but it keeps crashing. I had a look on the box and it said "vista: 1. 5gb ram minimum" i had a look and i have exactly 1021. 3mb of ram at the moment. Everything else checks out so i am just assuming i don't have enough ram. First of all, is this the problem that is causing the sims 3 to crash or something else?
If it is then how do i install it (i hear it is pretty easy but i don't want to touch something and have my computer, explode or something lol) a picture or two would be nice. How much ram would you recommend (budget would be like $150 - $200 if i really have to).

Ram For Dell Dimension E520
Last year i went on the crucial and dell sites and it said that my max memory was 1gb per slot. 4 slots, so that's 4 gb. I went on the website again tonight and now it claims that i can have 2gb per slot. I know my 32 bit operating system will only utilize 3. 5gb, but is it telling me that i can have 2gb per slot now? Disregard the bus speed. Anyway, i know how to use google, so people who actually own an e520, please respond.

Dimension E520 Cpu Upgrade
I'm upgrading a client's dell e520 from a pentium d 820 to a pentium e6600 dual-core cpu. With the e6600 cpu installed, i get no post screen at all, and the monitor light blinks. Both fans (psu & cpu) come on and the hard drive spins up. The main front panel power light shows steady green and the front panel diagnostic lights show 1, 3 and 4. To shut down i have to hold the power button in for 4-6 secs (rather than just pressing it). All my research insists that the e6600 is compatible with the dell e520, and it's my understanding that the motherboard should automatically adjust from the old 800mhz to the new 1066mhz fsb speed. I'm using the original 305w psu. I have updated the bios from 1. X to 2. 4. 0. I have tried reverting a ram upgrade from 2x2gb 800mhz (which works with the pentium d cpu) to the original 2x512mb 533mhz. I've tried removing the battery for 15 minutes as well as shorting the clrbios jumper. I've tried reseating the cpu, the ram and the power leads. Every time i insert the pentium d it works, but i have yet to get anything out of the e6600. I work at a static-free workstation and am using good quality thermal paste with the original heatsink assembly.

Dell Dimension 8200 Video Card & Ram Upgrade
I want to upgrade the ram and video card and will be very soon upgrading to 768mb ram. I bought a 256mb radeon 9600xt which arrived today and when i set it up and turned on the pc, the fan on the card would spin, pc would appear to boot up but no signal on the monitor and i don't think the pc was even loading windows. I've been told it's most likely a power issue, so maybe the card is hogging it and preventing the pc from booting. Can anyone recommend a good video card either 128mb or 256mb that will run on my 250w psu? I know i should upgrade the psu but apparently the dell ones are weird and others may not fit in the case. I also can't be bothered to be honest particularly as i only want to upgrade the vid card and ram so that i can play games up to about a year old pretty well (eg. Rollercoaster tycoon 3, rome: total war and such) and later on i will just buy a whole new more upgrade friendly pc. So basically i just want to upgrade the dell to keep me going until the end of the year or so. My specs:
Dell dimension 8200
P4 2. 25ghz
256mb ram
Geforce 2 mx 64mb
Win xp
250w psu

Dell Dimension E520 Motherboard Specs
I can't seem to find information on the motherboard in the dell 520. The user manual is not helpful. The unintelligible indian tech support people are useless. Customer service doesn't know. Can anyone post the great secret?

Nvidia Geforce Gtx 480 Fit In Dell Dimension E520 ?
Would a nvidia geforce gtx 480 fit in dell dimension e520 without changing any of the original components?
Answer:- no. According to the dell website, your computer only has a 305w power supply. A gtx 480 requires allot of power, all most double a regular graphics card. But other than that it should work fine. You will need at least a 650w power supply to run this graphics card, but i would recommend getting something a bit higher, 800w preferably. Buy why do you want to get this card? You're computer is not that great to begin with, only duo core/pentium. This graphics card is way to powerful and everything else in your system will end up bottlenecking it. Don't waste your money on a $500 card when your computer isn't even worth that much. I would recommend getting a xfx hd 5770 1gb, even this might be a little over powerful for your computer. But once again you'll have to upgrade the power supply to at least 450w, preferably 650w.

Dell Dimension 2400 Video Upgrade
I have a dell dimension 2400. I bought a radon 9250 pci card but it will not reconize that the card is even installed in the motherboard. I returned the video card. Which cards are compatable with this machine? And how do i get them to work. My system setup shows the vireo set to auto. I got no help from dell. Just a run around. They tried to tell me i would have to buy an "external slot" that is what customer service in india told me.

Dell Dimension 3000 Motherboard Upgrade
Can i upgrade the mother board in my old dell? I've got an old dell dimension 3000 out of my dad's office, and i would like to use it as a secondary pc (my laptop being the primary) for music, video, web browsing, and other light tasks. Problem is, it's a clunker with 3/4 gb ram and a celeron 320. My question is: can i replace the motherboard and upgrade the processor and ram?
Will windows reject this change, or does dell have proprietary parts in there?

Dell Dimension 2400 Upgrade For Warcraft 3
How do i upgrade my dell dimension 2400? I need to know how to upgrade my dell dimension 2400 because i had just recently bought warcraft 3 and i would really like 2 play it. My mhz is 400 i have 254mb ram. Answer:-
Well, with the information you've given us, it would take a lot to upgrade your computer to playable warcraft 3 specs. You'd need a new processor and more ram. However, a quick google of the dell dimension 2400 brings up tech specs that are much much better then the ones you have given so you may want to double check your specifications. The easiest way to know if you can run the game or not is to run this website: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
It scans your pc and tells you if you have the requirements to play the game.

Dell Dimension 8300 Upgrade Problem
I have a nearly stock dell dimension 8300. I've seen the (now infamous ::sigh: psu problems that go along with this machine. The stock psu has no switch and the plug location is awkward (from the back, its on the top left). I've read about the pins and have found one or two people say that dell isn't regulation, for some obscene reason. I'm looking to upgrade with the addition of a new video card and a couple more sticks of ram. Now, i've found some solutions for both of these problems. I can shell out extreme cash and get this:
http://www.Pcpowercooling.com/products/viewproduct.php?Show=s41d2&view=about
Or i can go with a lesser know, cheapo psu, ala this:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817170013
And if the pins aren't lined up for the latter, go ahead and buy a converter cable for standard psu's to dell specifications. I really don't want to shell out 100+ dollars, but i'm reading that no-name psu's end up being risky purchases.

Dell Dimension B110 Processor Upgrade
The socket on a dell b110 is 478. Can i install a 775 processor or better? Dual core? It's my parents computer and their stubborn about getting a whole new system and think they'll lose everything. So, i'm trying to upgrade it for them. Already have 2gb ddr400 memory coming in the mail. What about graphics? It's pci, i know kinda limits me, but any help would be appreciated as to how far i can take this system. The cost, i know, is probably prohibitive and not worth any benefit that i may see, but stubborn parents, you know?

Dell Dimension 4600 Cpu Upgrade To 3.0 Ghz
Will a dell dimension 4600 fan cool down a 3. 0 ghz cpu? I'm looking for a upgrade for my dell's 2. 4ghz p4 i looked online and alot of 3. 0 p4s can be around $10- $30. I use this for gaming but recently bought a game where the cpu is slowing me down. On other games i can just lower a few un-noticeable settings and that can fix it. But with this the running is sort of laggish. So would the standard fan on a dell dimension 4600 cool down a 3. 0 p4 or am i going to have to find a stronger fan.

Dell Dimension 4600c Video Card Upgrade
I currently run a dell dimenson 4600c (the mini-tower). This means that the profile for my video card is smaller than average. I'm looking to upgrade from the stock card that came with it (geforce 440 mx) and was looking for suggestions. I'd prefer to spend under $100. So far, i've ran into the geforce 6200 agp as being a viable option. However, i have a few questions i need to get sorted out. First: the geforce 6200 seems to be listed as requiring 300+ watts of power supply for the computer as a system requirement. The 4600c only has 160 watts, is this going to be a problem?
Second: some of the reviews list the card as not coming with a low-profile faceplate. Does my system (4600c) require a different faceplate? If so, are they relatively easy to come by and replace?
Specifically, i'm looking at the following card - http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16814122222
And finally: is there a better performing card that can fit my 4600c that is slightly higher in price?

Upgrade Graphics Memory Of Dell Dimension 2400 Pc
Can anybody give me advice on how to upgrade the "graphics" memory of my dell dimension 2400 pc? Currently, the pc uses intel (r) 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv graphics controller which is extremely old and slow. Which video cards are compatible with dell dimension 2400? Among these, can you name video cards that have a memory of 256mb or higher? Can the pc cope up with any more upgrades? (Two years ago i upgraded the "system" memory from 256 mb to 1gb).

Dell Dimension 3000 With 2gb Ram
I currently have a dell dimension 3000
Intel p4 3gig processor 800fsb 1mb cache

I currently had 512mb of ram installed. I recently purchased 2 gb (1gbx2 sticks) geilusa with heat-spreader
I was wondering if buying 2gb for the computer was 2 much or was it a good buy. I got it all for 150.

Dell Dimension 2400 Total Ram Issue
A friend of mine started having issues with their computer after they installed a new hard drive (things going really slow), so i told him i would take a look at it. It's a dell dimension 2400, and looking around, it looks like the specs of it should be pc2700 1 x 512 mb ram. However, looking at the bios it says there is a total memory of 97280k, also, when xp boots up, and i right click "my compter", it also says their is 97 megs of ram. Another thing i noticed is when it boots up and detects the ide devices, it says it's ddr333 (pc3200), however, when i enter dell's service tag, it says i need ddr466 (pc3700). So i'm a little confused, did dell mess up and put wrong memory stick in, or are bios and xp wrong? Also, why would it start acting slow after replacing the harddrive? I've tried running memtest, but for some reason it didn't work for me. It wouldn't boot from the cd (it would just hang).

Dell Inspiron 1501 Ram Upgrade
I have a dell inspiron 1501 (it has 1gb of ram at the moment), and decided to upgrade my memory. Currently i'm looking at this website (can't post url, memory.co.uk it is) and considering to buy one 1gb stick. However i am not sure which one is correct. Also, what is the maximum i can install on my laptop?
Another thing, do you think this website is legitimate? I heard some stories when people paid their money and didn't receive the goods they ordered. Also i heard stories, how people bought fake branded memory from ebay, so i'm very suspicious now.
