• Dimension 4700 CPU and Mboard upgrade?

  IM need a upgrade and I want to make my own.  I bought an e7200 processor and motherboard that Im going to use.  Im trying to decide if I want to try to install it in my 4700 or at the start of construction of a new layout and use the parts of the 4700?  Will be the hard drive freak if I do this?  Can I still use the Windows supplied with my 4700 if I format the drive?  Basically my ideal situation would be just redeem my processor and Mboard.  If it can happen?

  
  

• Dell Dimension 4700 upgrade tips Help!

  Hello Dell Community, I currently have a Dell Dimension 4700 and hoped to upgrade my computer to a computer game, with a budget of around $100-200.

  I wonder as to the game going, that upgrades would produce the biggest change and progress in the game? I'm hoping to improve up to 2 GB of Ram and add a video card, but don't know if it is the best choice to go.

  I have studied this subject and found several posts in the forums, but they were all overwhelmed and I hope to get some knowledge as well as recent graphics cards or Ram that can improve my FPS in game and all around my budget. Thank you.

  Sorry, but there are very few, you can upgrade on a child of seven years 'obsolete' 4700, to make a system of 'game '.

  Better to put the money upgrade, to buying new desktop PC.

• The Dimension 3000 processor upgrade

  I want to improve my old dimension 3000 D325 celeron processor equipped with a pentium 4.

  When I looked in the Dell user manual it says that the best processor I can get is a pentium 4 at 3.2 Ghz with hyper thread.

  When I looked at the site http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel _ (chipsets) 865GV.html it says I can put a 3.4 Ghz! and the list of the processor is much longer.

  Is there anyone who knows if I can use a pentium 4 3.4 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache with hyper threading?

  lingophi

  Either the Socket 478, P4 3.2 GHz or the 3.4 GHz P - 4 will work.

  Before you replace the processor, verify that the BIOS Version A03 is installed, when adding support for the latest processors has been added.

• Upgrading RAM Dell Dimension 4700

  Hi all

  OK I will try once again to this type. The first time I tried to type this my Surface frozen without reason and had to be properly closed. OK, I'll update the RAM on my Dell Dimension 4700 and I need help and advice before I do. My Dell says it has 0.99 GB of RAM installed. I looked inside and found that there are two sticks of 512 MB of RAM. I found (2 sticks of 1 GB) 2GB of RAM for Dell Dimension 4700 at amazon.com and intend to purchase that. So when I update the RAM I get two sticks of 512 MB and replaced with new 2 sticks of 1 GB from amazon? Are there precautions should I take? (In addition to wear an anti-static wristband) Thank you.

  Before you buy, go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner

  Download and run the Crucial scanner.  This will tell you:

  • supports memory of how many are in your computer
  • How much memory is in each
  • the maximum memory that can be installed on your computer and how
  • the right kind of RAM in your computer

  Do not buy crucial, but pay attention to what the scanner says that you need.

  In short, if you have only two supports from memory, then Yes, you need to remove the memory that is in them to put in new RAM.  However, just because you can buy two memory modules of 1 GB does not necessarily that your motherboard will accept them.

  When replacing memory.

  See http://www.crucial.com/wcsstore/CrucialSAS/pdf/install-guides/ram/crucial-dram-install-guide-en.pdf

  • take precautions against static - touch the chassis first; do not touch the contacts of the RAM modules
  • Unlock the pliers and pull it up
  • Orient the new module properly - there is usually only one way correct to put in - and push straight down firmly, but without wavering until closing locks.

• Upgrade the hard drive in dimension 4700

  I want to add a larger hard drive, 500 GB + in my Dimension 4700. Currently, I have a 80 GB drive, which is the largest size, I can add and what type, 1.5 gb/s or 3.0 gb/s, it takes, and if I install a large drive I see a loss of performance? My OS is Windows XP sp2, I have 2.0 GB of memory also.

  Thanks 1million

• Failures of Dell Dimension 4700

  Hello! This is my first post. I came here for support on one of my older Dell systems today, my only first. (I did recently acquired another). It was my first computer, a helping hand me down from my parents back in 2011. He never ran well. I blamed it on a lot of things to the wire of time, starting with the aging of processor Pentium 4, bad caps on the motherboard to hard drive errors. USB works, extremely slow performance, stops and weird/sali post codes at the start are all symptoms. Once I hit him (not very hard) once out of frustration and she completely restarted. Then, it worked fine for months. This weekend, however, I was reached behind the unit to plug in a USB key (the front USBs long quit date, as I mentioned above) and it stops without any sign of restart. I have tried unplugging for a while, and then reconnect (it worked in the past, it has happened before), but it did not help. I checked on the inside, and the Green LED on the motherboard was off. Then, I started to suspect the PSU. A paper clip test confirmed my suspicions... and I could see the capacitors that have failed inside during the inspection below. I tested the power supply that failed but in my other 4700, and it failed. I borrowed the PSU work from this computer and put it in one with faulty POWER, but instead of starting block flashes an orange light by the power button. The power failure took the motherboard with it: (?) Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

  Is the power button LED, solid or flashing and what color?

  What is the reading of the 4 on the rear panel diagnostic lights?

  The tool and Dimension 4700 Service Manual/Diagnostic Guides are here:

  http://downloads.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-4700_service%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Are there messages of error, or 'tweets '?

  Yes, it is possible that the motherboard is shorted [aka fried]

• Sweet video for Dimension 4700 card?

  Sweet video for Dimension 4700 card?
  I was given an old Dell 4700 of Dimension that has the integrated VGA video connector and never had a video card. The computer came with a modem only in the PCI 1 slot and the PCI Express x 16 slot is empty.
  I read old posts here on this subject, but most is outdated and some recommend cards that use too much power for the 305 watt power supply.
  It's so confusing when I look at say a HD5450 there are so many brands and versions his crazy confusion.
  Thanks for any help
  Ron.

  AMD made graphic processor chips and sells them to manufacturers of cards, who exploit them in turn to produce finished their own individual designs graphics cards.

  The 5450 is cheaper than the 6450 and consumes less power, but it is less powerful and has fewer features. My favorite range low graphics card is the 6450 Sapphire, and I bought some of them for use in old Dells.

  What would be the best processor upgrade for my

  Compaq Presario SR5412NL desktop PC

  It's running windows vista 32 bit, I'll upgrade my memory to 4 GB.

  I use the most for Photoshop/Illustrator pc it seems to slow my pc down when I use these programs simultaneous.

  And would it be another option to run these programs from an ssd instead of the HD that make a difference?

  You are the very welcome, Suzan.

  I would say that the safe bet for the best processor the E7400.

  Your PC was introduced in March 2008.

  I fear the E7500 and E7600 that came out in 2009, will not be managed because I can't update the BIOS of your PC that adds support for the latest processors.

• Processor upgrade questions

  Hi all.

  (For a year or two), I have the HP Pavilion p7-1235 with is provided with processor A8-5500 and 7560 integrated graphics. I intend to add a discrete GPU to 7750 and a 500 Watt power supply. I use this desktop computer for everyday tasks, surf the web, etc. But I also play casual games on Steam. I also have the Sims 3 (base game) is installed.  The last time I played this game, fifiteen minutes at the level of the fan (I guess CPU) kicking on.  It also happened when I tried Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

  Now I don't know if it of because the cpu is dusty or cannot handle these 2 games. According to the technical specifications of HP, I know I can upgrade the processor to an A10-5700 or A10 - 5800 k? It would give me better performance game-wise? Or just do the upgrade to graphical power and power would be sufficient? Also, when a processor upgrade, would I have to mess with the BIOS?

  http://h20565.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.page/public/KB/docDisplay/?sp4ts.Oid=5187022&SPF...

  Set to upgrade to an A10-5700 will provide that almost no improvement in the CPU of the tasks not related. Upgrading an A10 - 5800K provide a 5% improvement in CPU related tasks. Your best bet is too make sure all dirt and dust is collected inside the case, fans and heat sinks. Then install the GPU and PSU upgrades and monitor your computer for the fan kicks at the top. With the GPU load moved to the discreet graphics card, the APU (UC) should be less stressed.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
