• CPU upgrade Dell dimension 9200 core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz processor

  I was wondering if someone could help me.  I know that it is not supported by dell, but I want to upgrade my processor at the maximum speed supported by my Dimension 9200... I currently have a 2.4 Ghz cpu and bought an E8500 3.16 Ghz, which is NOT compatible... I was wondering if I could go with an E7300 2.66, I I think the problem is with the speed of the bus--the E6600 and E7300 are the two 1066 Mhz but the E8500 and E8600 1333 Mhz.

  Can anyone confirm that the E7300 2.66 / 1066 Mhz is compatible...?  Thank you.

  OK so just to confirm that I will buy the CPU... I can get a core 2 duo for a core 2 Quad... as long as I get a Q6700 2.66 GHz... correct? for a Dimension 9200... Thank you.

  Yes, the XPS 410/9200 will take up to Q6700, processors FSB 1066.

• Upgrade to a Dimension 9200

  Hello!

  I bought a Dimension 9200 two years ago.

  I think to do an upgrade of CPU, but I can't upgrade to the DELL web site information.

  My processor is a Core 2 Duo 6400 2.13 GHz.

  Anyone know what is the biggest Core 2 Duo that fits on a Dimension 9200?

  Dimension 9200 supports Quad Core processors? If so, a larger suits you?

  Thanks in advance.

  
  

• Dell Dimension 9200 MAX UPGRADE

  As you can tell a Dell Dimension 9200 is a bit old this generation of computers, but I want max to upgrade my PC and my calculations, when I update this baby to the max, it could perhaps better than PCs today, so most important first question:

  1: can I upgrade my power supply? My current diet only 350w, I am able to pass this to 500w by installing a new? Is it possible to install a new power supply on my PC again? If so, which company is the most reliable?

  Thank you for your help, once this question is answered, I think my PC will be a match munching PC

  Azee123

  Yes, the power supply can be improved to a 500w unit +.

  The Dimension 9200 does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.

  The 9200 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be installed.

  Note: You need a PSU with six SATA power connectors.

  When you buy a power supply, check the manufacturer's warranty, plus better, look for one with a minimum of three years.  Personally, I prefer the Corsair PSU.

• The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

  I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

  My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

  Hi gaz492,

  The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

  Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

  In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

  NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

  There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

  1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
  2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
  3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
  4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

  Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

  Answer please if you have any other questions.

• Dimension 9200 video card and processor upgrade

  I have a Dimension 9200, which currently holds a (Republic popular of CHINA, E6320, 1.86, 4 M, CDCR, B2) processor inside. Since Intel always uses the same socket technology can I replace with a (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4 GHz 2 x 4 MB L2 Cache LGA 775) CPU Quad-Core?

  My current graphics card is also (CRD, GRPHC, G84, HMGA15) I can replace it with one (01 G-P3-N870-AR of EVGA GeForce 9600 GT 1 GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP Ready SLI 256-bit supported) video card?

  One of these would require a power supply greater than what exists currently in?

  
  

• Dimension 9200 upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7

  I upgrade my Dimension 9200 to Windows 7 using a clean install - does not save anything to the old XP operating system. Windows Upgrade Advisor gave a certificate of good health, but has suggested a post-installation connection network driver update which went well. The upgrade took place without any obvious problem, but performance is very slow.

  My system has the Core Duo 2.13 GHz processor and 2 GB PC2 - 5300 667 MHz RAM and 160 GB of hard disk with a single partition.  I guess I could add an another 2 GB of memory, but do not know how much performance improvement which would provide.

  I made a mistake in installing Windows 7 64 bit instead of 32-bit?  If so is it possible to downgrade to 32 bit?

  Decommissioning for 32 bit OS will DEGRADE the performance and not allow windows to use more than 3.5 GB of ram.

  64 bit OS runs faster than the 32-bit os.

  There is a view Option in windows to NOT SHOW EMPTY DRIVE of DISCS.  There will be no icons unless a real card.

  There is also a setting in BIOS that DISABLES the FLEX BAY which is what the reader is connected.

• Upgrade a Dell Dimension 9200 360 GB Raid to 2 TB hard drive

  Hello

  I have tried this modernization and taken on drives of 160 GB 1 and put in disk 2 TB and started the PC and it did not work I tried 2 different locations.

  Can someone help me by telling me what I have to do

  to install disk 2 TB on my Vista PC running.

  I need to install my dell Vista-CD/CD?

  your help will be greatly appreciated

  Assuming you have RAID 0, RAID was probably set up to be the bootable hard drive.  If you delete one of the disks, your RAID will be completely disabled and the computer will not start.  The Dimension 9200 has six SATA ports, two upward by themselves and four other together towards the middle of the main map.  When one of these machines has been ordered with RAID Dell normally placed disks RAID on the third SATA ports and fourth, leaving the first two either vacuum or place the DVD/CD drive on the second of the two ports that reach by themselves next to the power supply.  You should be able to add your Board of 2 TB in two ways; Place it in one of the two ports next to food, or use one of the either the port of fifth or sixth sitting by the RAID.

  Once you have the new drive installed mechanically, restart the computer and use F2 during the self-test to reach the configuration of the system.  This page shows the BIOS how you want the computer to deal with its various devices.  Go to the screen that shows all your SATA devices and make sure that the port with your new hard drive is turned on.  If you skip this step the computer ignores your new drive.  Once you have done this and left the installation of the system, you will need to find the disk on your computer Manager so that you can initialize, partition and format the new drive.  You must configure a partition, even if you want to use the entire disk as one partition before you can format.

  A word of caution: computers some Dell's have some difficulties to accept a hard drive placed on a track numbered higher than the DVD/CD drive.  If you use the ports by the RAID drives and find you have problems using the new hard disk, you will need to plug it into the port of the first or second, depending on which is not used by the DVD/CD drive.  The RAID drives are not normally affected by this problem because they are managed by the ROM of RAID Intel and the computer does not see them as a SATA hard drive.

• To clean or not to clean. Dell Dimension 9200 Quad Core

  I use two very old Dimension 9200 Quad Core computers that perform very well indeed and all I want to do.

  I was considering to remove the radiator and the fan to clean any dust and dirt on but don't know if it of a good idea or not. I am aware that if I do that I'll have to remove the old thermal paste and replace it.

  I take an unnecessary risk in doing this, and it is maybe just better left alone?

  If I do what is best to use to remove the former compound and is there a particular type of thermal paste, I have to present a new request?

  With computers that work OK, the best choice is to leave it alone. Look inside to see if any animal hair, dust or dirt accumulated. Clean carefully and leave the single cpu.

• 2 TB hard drive for Dell Dimension 9200

  I have a 3 years Dimension 9200 desktop with 2 X 160 GB hard drives configured as a RAID 320 array.  I want to move to a single 2 TB hard and I was wondering if someone could advise me if a Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS - buffer of disk hard - 2 to - internal - 3.5 "-SATA-600 - 7200 rpm -: 64 MB would do the job."  Otherwise, what is that limit the upgrade?  Is there more to consider otherwise if it is a SATA hard drive? Someone at - it other recommendations? My apologies if this message sounds like it is a novice to updates - the reason is that I am!

  There is no reason from a material point of view that a 2 TB drive would be a problem in the Dimension 9200.  Just considerations common to install a SATA drive.

  You install Windows XP?  If you use the installation disc is a labeled Dell installation disk, SATA drivers can be already integrated in the drive.  Most Windows XP installation diskettes, however, won't these drivers so that the computer hangs during installation, typically have reported that a hard disk cannot be found.  If you find that this is the case, go to the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after starting or restarting the computer), then assign the controller SATA RAID Autodetect / ATA.  This parameter allows to use the native IDE drivers on the Windows XP installation disc.

  If you use Vista, you should have no problem Vista installation media should have native SATA drivers.

  Manuals for your computer are available at support.Dell.com.  The service is currently not available, but should be back before long.

• Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

  Hello world

  I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
  Can someone help me please?

  I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

  Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

  Thank you.

  I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
  Did you?

  Some facts first:
  Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
  In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

  Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
  Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
  Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

  Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

  But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

• Satellite Pro L630 - 14L - CPU upgrade possible?

  Is it possible to upgrade processor in this model: L630 14 L? If yes what processors are supported?
  Another question - my hdmi port stopped working - is the possible replacement?

  Hello

  With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
  This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

  Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

  The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
  So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
  But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.
