I need to make like a ultimate pc topic so me and brandon can stop having to answer these. Anyways so what you want more ram? You have to check your spec sheet and make sure your motherboard can handle over 1gb. Just call Dell, thats what they have technical support for.

Gonna be hard to suggest anything until you tell us what kind of RAM you have now.

SDRAM ?
DDR ?
RDRAM ?
DDR 2 ?
DDR 3 ?

Agrees with Neo*

But.. You want your PC to be faster by buying 1gig ram? Maybe that isn't the thing that makes your PC so slow. Give us your system specs so we can see what you should change etc.

Tell ya the truth, a gig a RAM should do fine dude but, but Does that really say "intergrated"? If you have intergrated graphics (built into the motherboard) THAT's where I would focus on a big change.

If its integrated I doubt he has even a AGP 2x/4x 4x/8x on his mobo, ill check. But 2gig of ram wont make as much of a difference as a new video card.

I dont even know how to install a video card

Post by: Ferσή on November 15, 2007, 06:25:02 PM
I checked and you don't have a AGP or PCI-E port, so you will have to stick to PCI. But if you want to upgrade your graphics card either way you will need a new power supply. Are you capable of re-wiring your system?

There are Dell certified power supply's so you may want to contact Dell. Installing a video card is not much different then installing ram, its just bigger and you don't have to use as much force.

cant be THAT decent...

theres not really much you can do godson, unless you buy the best PCI graphics card there is, which is a geforce 6200 i think...

thats the best graphics card you can get for PCI

I've got the 6200, can run stuff full resolution with no lag.  Your integrated one isn't too great.

Dell is absolute gar-bitch ;_; They charged me $80 for 512mb of RAM in 2005. Never buy from Dell, EVAR AGAYN!

Now, recently I altered my Dell by adding a new graphics card and a new power supply (to power the card)

I got this card - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...0&CatId=319 (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1520540&CatId=319)

and this power supply - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817104931 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104931)

both suggested by Feron.  

Some Dell computers may use special proprietary parts, so you have to buy special parts from Dell to upgrade your system. In my case I didn't need to buy anything from Dell, and both of those parts work fine for me.

I'm pretty sure your computer doesn't have a correct PCI-E slot for a card, so getting the PCI card Feron suggested would be a good. Although if you get that card you're probably going to need a new power supply too.
