Dell Inspiron 530 upgrades

Hello, this is my first post on the Dell forums. I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with these specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20 GHz, 4 GB of memory at 800 MHz and a GeForce GT 610. It's the mid 2007 530 model. I have an extra CPU laying around, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600. I wonder if I can use in this office. Also, what is the maximum amount of memory that I can install in it? Thanks for reading!

You should check what version of motherboard.

The Inspiron 530 has two variants of motherboards, made by Foxconn and based on the G33M series.

The G33M02 supports up to processors Core 2 Duo and the DG33M03 that supports the processors Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad.
    
Inspiron 530 systems sold with Pentium Dual-Core or Core 2 Duo processors cannot be upgraded to Core 2 Quad processors without adding at least a 350W power supply and swap the motherboards to the DG33M03 version.

The G33M02 does not support processors Core 2 Quad is because he has 6 ICs, the DG33M03 voltage regulator has 11.

Note: Before upgrading the processor, make sure you have BIOS Version 1.0.15 or a more recent version, when support for the new Intel processor has been added.

The Foxconn G33m02 [Dell P/N ORY007] motherboard, supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM DDR2, 530 Mini Tower with a Foxconn G33m03 motherboard systems can support 8 gb (4 x 2 GB modules).

530 s Dell 'Slimline' systems have a Foxconn G33m02 motherboard which only supports a maximum of 4 GB [either4 x modules of 1 GB or 2 x 2 GB modules].

Note also for Windows to recognize 4 GB more memory, you must have a 64-bit operating system installed.

  • Dell Inspiron 530 upgrade

    I think I'll eventually replace the CPU, motherboard and RAM. However, I expect comments on this better replacements to keep the same power in the short term. I want to just update for children, so high-end is not necessary, but if the price is right, it would be better. I think my biggest concern is the USB/sound/etc ports front. Currently, I think that it is running a 305 w power, and a PCI-e x 16 video card.

    Are the connectors for these propritary Dell or will they work with a new motherboard?

    Does anyone know the Council size max will take the case and the motherboard (ATX/mini-ATX/BTX/etc) what is? I thought it was an ATX, but I thought I would check when obtaining the size max able to adapt...

    The Inspiron 530 MT supports a card mother Micro-ATX.

    You may be involved with the rear i/o Panel, Dell has integrated this into the back panel of the chassis, retail motherboards have separate I/O panels that fit into an ATX chassis, you must change the case, through an opening in the Dell chassis for it.  You can find it easier to buy a standard ATX case.

  • Upgrade CPU Dell Inspiron 530?

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 530 in October 2008 (Service tag <> NOTE from the ADMIN: Service tag removed by privacy policy >) and I would like to upgrade the processor. My current processor is an Intel Celeron 450 2.20 GHz. I think that my motherboard is a Foxconn G33M02. (But I am not sure, and I would like to confirm that, so that I don't get an incompatible cpu.)

    What would be a good upgrade from the processor that I can put in my current motherboard? I feel that my current Celeron 450 is a uniprocessor processor, and I would trade out for an important and remarkable improvement with more hearts (at reasonable cost) while keeping the same motherboard.

    I've already updated the PSU for a 460 Watt PSU and have also upgraded the video card. Looking for a good upgrade from the processor. I think I also need to update my bios of motherboard.

    530 systems were built with two different models of motherboards.

    FoxConn G33m02 [Dell P/N ORY007] motherboard, this version does not support processors Core 2 Quad, only the Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron processors.

  • RAM Dell Inspiron 530 (initially 3 GB of RAM with Vista 32-bit), can be upgraded to more than 4 GB, Windows 7 64-bit?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with 3 GB of RAM, bought 4 years ago, with Windows Vista 32-bit.

    Since then, I've updated for Windows 7 64 bit PC and want to upgrade the RAM to 4 or 6 GB.

    Site Web of Dell indicates that memory on the Inspiron 530 is limited to 4 GB.  Is this true with Windows 64-bit?

    I thought that with 64-bit Windows, you could spend as long as could be installed in the 4 memory locations, well more than 4 GB of RAM.

    Can someone clarify the situation?

    Panzano

    Yes, it's the same motherboard, just a revised reference number.

    Better to open the case and check the label on the motherboard.

    Here is a list of the different revisions of the same motherboard part numbers

    Dell reference: RY007 0RY007 CN-0RY007 G679R 0G679R CN-0G679R RN474 0RN474 CN-0RN474 K216C 0K216C CN-0K216C GN723 0GN723 CN-0GN723

  • Does support windows windows vista after a factory reset on a Dell Inspiron 530

    I'll perform a factory reset and reset on my Dell Inspiron 530 which has windows Vista Home Premium installed. My question is will download all the drivers and software factory or update the system if windows does not support Vista? It's my first time doing this, and any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Microsoft dropped support for all versions of IE prior to 11 and only allowed up to version 9 under Vista. Also, Google dropped Chrome support for this operating system. Office 2013/2016/Windows Live Essentials all do not support Windows Vista.

    Review the operating system at the end of life.

    Theres no official free upgrade path to TH2 10 Windows, however, you can use the unofficial 10130 upgrade path. The Inspiron 530 works on Windows 10 wells 64bits TH2.

    7750 HD is the best card you can get without upgrading your diet after the HD 6670 and the HD 6570.  Forget the HD 5450 or GT 210 for the games.  You will have much more luck find the display port you want in the HD 7750 against each other.
