• Dell Dimension 8200 Memory Upgrade after upgrade the processor

  Hello

  I have a Dell Dimension 8200 (shipping date is 01/05/2002) which came with a FSB of 400. I've recently updated the its origianl 1.8 GHz a 2.4 GHz processor.  I understand that the 8200 with a FSB of 400 can use 800-40ns or 800-45ns memory sticks (I think that mine came with 800-45).  I intend to upgrade memory 1 GB to 4 X 512 (2GB), I installed (4 X 256).  My question is when I went to buy the 4 X 512 memory, said the pub, it could be used in a 8200 with a 2.1 GHz CPU or less.  I have a 2.4 GHz chip. Is that going to be a problem?

  Rbatleman,

  Great question!  When the Dimension 8200 was released the processor speed max was 2.1 ghz (probably why the memory you were viewing had this label).   We have updated later to the processor 2.4 ghz when it was available.  The two units came with the PC800-45 (400 mhz) memory, you should run into any problems with this memory.  Keep in mind the system supports only the RIMM modules that contain devices memory of 4, 8 or 16.  I hope this helps!

• I can add on a hard drive to my Dell Dimension 8200

  I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with a 100 GB ATA / hard disk, it is full and I have only 4 GB of free space. There intel9R0 4 CPU 1.70 GHz, running windows XP Home Edition. I would like to add a 500 GB hard drive, can I just add this hard drive as a #2 as a normal drive.

  Yes, if you install 2nd disk after formatting it will appear as another drive in 'My computer' and you can move files to free up space on your primary drive.

  In addition, you can install the new drive, clone the old drive him (several disks are delivered with the software or you can download it from the Web site of the manufacture) and then delete the old drive... just a matter of what you prefer, option 1 is easier.

  Keep in mind there are two types of hard drives: EIDE (or "parallel ata") is the oldest type, the cable is 40 pins of a connector that is about 3 inches wide. Newer drives are SATA ("Serial ATA") with a connector 4 pins which is about 0.75 inches wide. On the top of my head I do not remember if Dell Dim 8200 SATA or not, but I think. Worst case if you do not find an EIDE drive and your computer does not have a SATA connector, you can add a PCI card that will add. Some of these cards may not allow to boot from it so you should keep your installed current 100 GB drive for the installation to work.

• Upgrade to a Dell Dimension 8200?

  I have a very old Dell Dimension 8200 PC desktop computer I found at a sale of yard for free, and initially, it came with only 256 MB of RDRAM. I ordered a kit 1 GB for it, and the seller had shipped me 4 512 MB modules that fit into the PC, very well. Bringing the RAM from 256 MB to 2 GB, even if apparently the so-called 8200 can be up to 1 GB. A reason why what was possible? Anyway, I'll try and upgrade the processor 1.7 ghz on something toward superior (I must find the chipset that there) and if I have enough money, I'll put a better video in card. And before someone tells you to buy a new PC with the money it would take to put new parts in this area; I have a very good, 2013 PC that works very well. I just want to see how far I can spend the 8200, as a project more than anything else. But honestly; Why upgrade to 2 GB actually works if Dell indicates that it can go only up to 1 GB? I also saw that the PC that I use on a daily basis, an Inspiron 660, can use about 32 GB, if Dell says up to 8 GB, even though they sold the same model with about 16 GB. It's all confusing.

  Many Dell can handle more Dell's claim. Often the physical changes occur throughout the life of the model, and the newer versions will take longer. Limitations both the particular Chipset, BIOS and motherboard. Each doubling of RAM support takes an extra to be present address line.

• Dell Optiplex 780 memory update does not

  1. I have purchase Dell Optiplex 780 supplied with memory DDR3 8 GB (4x2Go). I wanted to update so I bought 4 GB RAM (4x1Go) and tried to install it today. The diagnostic lights Dell on 3 and 4, which means that the memory is detected, but at fault. Now, I doubt that this new module of memory are defective. Here's what I did to solve problems:

     I took the original strips and installed a new. There are 4 DIMM and I tried to put it in all the 4 connectors DIMM one, but my PC will not start and shows the Dell diagnostic lights lit 3 and 4. then I put my original RAMS but still the same problem has happened that I also tried the two Rams Original one by one in all the slots but same question :(

     I also tried without installed memory but still Dell lights lit diagnostic 3 and 4 and no beep heard.

     Can someone help me what is the problem real?

  Hi Danish_smartpk,

  Welcome to the Dell Community Forum.

  If the 3 and 4 diagnostic lights are lit, it is code modules of memory detected, but a memory failure that occurred. You also mentioned that there is not only no beeps no heard when no memory is installed. When no memory is detected by the system, it emits beep codes indicating the same.  If the motherboard is not beep when no memory is installed, it could indicate failure systemboard.

  It is generally recommended that the BIOS updated before the new memory being installed. In addition, your computer supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM DDR3 SDRAM (memory non - ECC only). If it already came with 8 GB of memory, it would not take an additional upgrade.

• Dimension 8200 does not start

  I have a Dimension 8200, which has not been used for more than a year.  I was going to reformat the hard drive to remove all personal data, and then give it to my daughter's school.  However, it will not start.  The Dell page comes and the BIOS white bar at the bottom of this page fills slowly, but then nothing happens for about a minute.  Meanwhile, the power button is green, and the ABCD diagnostic lights are green-orange to orange-green.  Then after about a minute or two, a page of message arrives.    At this point, the diagnostic lights are Green-Green-Green-orange, and the power button is always green. Among other writings is the assertion that the 1 primary and secondary hard drives is not found.  It says also "failure keyboard,' even if I used this fairly reliable keyboard with other computers. But it does not seem that the keyboard doesn't have - I do nothing doing on the keyboard has an impact on the computer.

  I checked the optical drive opens and closes when I push the button on the front, but I have not tried to use the player, because the computer is completely non-functional.  I looked through the forum of ideas of things to try.  According to this research, I checked the power supply provides the correct voltage.  I disconnected and reconnected then the two IDE cables, and I also removed and replaced the RAM sticks, as well as two sticks of continuity.  But still nothing!

  Any ideas, or should I just trash?

  Thank you

  The Dimension 4600 supports up to 4 GB (4 x 1 GB modules) RAM DDR, but can only send 3 gb - + of it due to the 32-bit operating system:

  Also, if you use the 4600 for browsing the internet, the better to replace XP with a system of operating most recent such Win 7.

• Upgrade memory Dell Dimension 9150

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade memory RAM on my Dell Dimension 9150 Dual Core (DXP051) clocked at 2.8 GHZ with 1 GB of ram. Motherboard is Dell 0YC523. IGB memory currently.

  Watching the RAM is OCZ Enhanced latency Platinum XTC Edition revision 2 with speed 800 Mhz - CL4 (4-4-4-15) latency. 2 GB

  OCZ recommendation is to increase the volatge of ram to 2.1V on the BIOS but I don't think that this is possible on the Dell motherboard.

  Previousposts research, someone also asked a similar question but for an XPS 720 PC.

  The solution suggested something about SLI or EPP ready... I'm not sure what it means. This means that the RAM must be SLI or EPP ready to be compatible with the motherboard of Dimension I or the mothersboard must be ready for use of these modules of memory SLIp/PPE? Can I use this module and if so, how do I change the voltage or the motherboard will adjust it automatically?

  If not, can I get some other RAM?

  Thanks in advance.

  
  

• updated reference dell dimension and have no sound what to do to restore the sound?

  I have no noise ran restore disc have everything clean and now I have no audio / suggestions?
  It is a dell dimension 4700 with windows xp home edition installed.

  Bill Smithers is OK... but my experience has been that the list of drivers on the Dell site for sound is confusing because they often have more than one driver.   Download you the driver from Dell and it does not work, and they have another one, try the other.
