• limit of 4 GB of ram in Inspiron 530 s?

  Hello. I wanted to upgrade the ram in my inspiron 530 s and I read online that the limit for the 530 s is 4 GB. However, I read that it is possible to have up to 8 GB of ram, if I am running 64-bit and my BIOS version is 1.0.12 or later version. Is this true?

  If so, what type of ram you would recommend getting.

• The Inspiron 530 RAM limit

  With the latest BIOS what is the maximum amount of RAM the inspiron 530 can handle. The chipset must support up to 8GB, but the documented on dell limit is 4 GB.

  I know, there was a problem with earlier BIOS which limited to 3.2 GB, but the details for an update to download claim it fixes the problems of mapping memory for 4 > = configurations.

  Anyone know what's the deal?

  The Inspiron 530 will support up to 8 GB memory.  Dell gave the 530 with 6 GB with a 64-bit operating system.

• 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?

  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

• Adding 2nd hard drive for Inspiron 530

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which has a Samsung 320 hard drive.  I would like to add a second hard drive to put photos, etc.  Green a Western Digital 2 TB 3.5 "SATA looks like a possibility.  However, images, like most of the internal drives I saw pictures, he has one open side showing the drive mechanism.  The Samsung already in the PC is covered.  The additional disc will not become covered with dust (my PC had a lot of cobwebs in it when I opened it to the top!)?  Any advice on which drive to choose and how to install it would also be appreciated.

  dellby

  All computers must be inside the frame, cleaned all the dust on a regular basis.

  I have two HD SATA and SSD installed in my Inspiron 530 mini tour and have never had a problem of "dust."

  Keep the air intakes located on the façade behind the clean HD of any accumulation of dust, helps to cool the hard drives.

  Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here:

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Will need you a SATA data cable, there should be a spare power connector SATA inside the case and four 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws to mount the drive.

  Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

  For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

  Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

  Hard drives Western Digital and Seagate are good, my preference is for Western Digital.

  Also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the best guarantee.

• Double monitor Inspiron 530 with Radeon 3600

  The goal: Office expanded, so I can have different applications on each display (three apps, side by side, accounting work. sometimes need 4 apps!).

  I can't get two monitors to work on my Inspiron 530, Vista 64-bit. The Dell Support site and other sites, it makes its easy to connect the two cables, one on the VGA port and the other to DVI port. Not the case. I googled and searched the Dell Community and not found specific instructions, if someone can help a person no - IT? I'm not a tech person, but I'm trying to be self-sufficient.

  I'm not sure what order to describe the material and edits I've tried, but I know you guys like as much information as possible, so:

  Processor: E7400 2.8 Ghz, 8 MB of RAM, I do not know how to find info on diet, if that matters.

  Graphics card: I bought the machine in 2009 with the graphics card ATI Radeon HD 3650 so that I could have two monitors in the future. Now that I'm ready for two monitors. I see in the Catalyst Control Center where it could be implemented, but I can't see both monitors when the machine is started.

  Ports: Glancing at the back of the machine and along the bottom row I see the DVI port and also have an HDMI port and a Mini DisplayPort connector. Above left is the VGA port, which is capped.

  Monitors, I have so far:

  1. Dell SP2900W, I ordered with the machine came with VGA and DVI - D cables (single) (+ USB), always used connected to DVI (w USB).
  2. Dell U2713HM, came with VGA and DVI - D (dual) cables (+) USB

  Experience: I can get a monitor to work individually, using the DVI port. But if I try to plug into the VGA port, individually or in combo with the other DVI, I get the dreaded "added to the graphic card" message at startup - my novice research tells me that the VGA port is currently not usable because of the Radeon 3650 and I think the message tells me to give up on the VGA and only use the DVI port. But I only have a DVI port.

  One thing about the USB cables, I also understand should be plugged in at the same time as the DVI, I plugged them into a D-Link DUB - H7. There is a free USB port on the rear of the machine and four in the front, if I need to stop using the D-link for monitors, please let me know.

  So please, gods of all things Dell, do - do I have to get my goal?

  1. Change the BIOS to re - enable VGA (how and will I want to use the DVI and VGA ports?)?
  2. Get an HDMI cable, a monitor can be HDMI, DVI another? Both monitors have the HDMI ports.
  3. Get something external expansion of graphics (such as Matrox DualHead2Go DP)?
  4. Catalyst Control Center update? I have 11.5.
  5. Update on the Radeon HD 3650 driver? I 8,850, 19/04/11, wow it's old, I guess, but on the AMD website, I get a little confused, which, as we...
  6. Take the machine to a department store and have them install a second DVI port?

  Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please help, or I'll use the emoticon "cry like a baby".

  inspiron530acct,

  The keyboard, mouse and the two upstream monitor USB cables must be plugged directly into the rear USB ports on the Inspiron 530. All other USB devices must be plugged into the D - Link DUB - H7 which is plugged into one of the USB ports on the front of the Inspiron 530.

  1 = DVI monitor Video card--> cable DVI to DVI--> SP2009WFP DVI
  Monitor 2 = video card Mini DisplayPort--> mDP to DP cable--> port U2713HM DP
  Next, go to the Ati Catalyst Control Center extended mode and Setup.

• Help with CPU upgrade (inspiron 530)

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with a motherboard FOXCONN G33M02, Intel Pentium Dual E2180 @ 2 GHz processor (socket 775, I think), 4 GB of RAM and a NVidia Geforce GT620 1 GB DDR3 video card. My children want their games to run better, so I think that the CPU is my next update. Dell support suggested the E2200, but that doesn't seem much of a leap. What is the max the G33M02 support? And should I worry about feeding, fans, BIOSes, other?

• The Inspiron 530 CPU upgrade.

  Hi all. I have an Inspiron 530 stock (not a 530 a/b/c/d, etc.) under Vista Home Premium, model Board 0RY007. BIOS is 1.0.3 (which... seems hopelessly out of date, but what do I know?). Previous research told me I couldn't go to a quad core with this motherboard, but a dual core is very good for my gaming needs. I installed on a Pentium E6500 2.93 GHz dual core, because it seemed to be a modest upgrade that would work with realism in a 3 year machine.

  When that I boot, I get the black screen progress bar, green with the Microsoft copyright line downstairs. It will not go past this screen. When I reboot, the comp is in recovery mode, but then freezes also. I reinstalled the old processor core, he returned to recovery mode, this time successfully, and I did a system restore to a week ago. It is here where I am now. The machine works very well with the old processor (I also upgraded the RAM and that seems to be good too), so I'm left wondering if this new processor is compatible with my old Inspiron. Any help/advice would be appreciated, thanks!

  -Jimmy

  Before installing the processor, upgrade the BIOS to Version 1.0.15, or more, what new Intel CPU support has been added and see if that makes a difference.

  In addition, please post the e6500 processor sSpec number.

• 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?

  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.

• Upgrade memory Inspiron 530

  I am trying to upgrade the Inspiron 530 for my mom. It was running great but has begun to show it's age.  I want to hang some new faster memory, he was considering upgrading the processor, but at this point isn't going to bother because of the fact that it is an older machine, it mainly use it for email and the occasional web surfing session.

  I see that Dell is silling RAM but is a bit more expensive side and trying to find elsewhere, but to see different speeds... So rather than have bad normal speed and it does not work, can someone point me in the right direction to make sure I get good memory?

  Thank you

  I guess you have the Inspiron 530 mini tour with the 300w/350w PSU and not the version of Slimline s 530, with a power of 250w.

  MT 530 systems were built with two different models of motherboards.

  If your 530 has been purchased with either a Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core, Celeron processor and a 300w power supply, this system usually involves an 0RY007/G679R/CU409 [FoxConn G33m02] motherboard which only supports LGA 775 Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron processors and 4 GB of RAM.
     
  If your Inspiron 530 minitower shipped with a LGA 775 Core 2 Quad processor and a 350w power supply, you have the motherboard [FoxConn DG33m03] of 0FM586.
     
  The card mother 0FM586 can be used for both Quad 4 and Core 2 Duo processors and can support 8 GB of RAM, with a 64-bit operating system

  Motherboard is your MT 530 have?

  The Inspiron 530 with a motherboard G33M02/0RY007 will support either 4 GB [4 x 1 GB, or 2 x 2 GB DDR2 PC - 2 modules - 5300 or DDR2 PC2-6400 memory.]

• Issue on Inspiron 530 MOBO replacement

  First I want to apologize because I bet that a lot of people before me came before ask exactly the same question, but I need to hear it straight from the mouth of the horse to clear doubts I may, besides I did search for similar topics on the dell forum and cela and nothing conclusive why after pondering for months I should do yet another topic related to dell inspiron 530 or not , but I have finally decided to bite the bullet and we are here. As the title suggests I have questions about the replacement of my dell inspiron 530 mobo broke, it's the G33m02 who, what little research, I can only take up to 4gbs of ram, or 8 gb according to the interviewee (and where is my star doubts) and cannot stand other processors core 2 duo like the one he had, however I have read somewhere in the dell forum that case made for dell computers may have other mobos dell for the same model computer, for example a 530's (which apparently have been sold only in China) motherboard can be replaced by a 530 ordinary because of the PIN and connectors and a few other tech mumbo jumbo that goes completely over my head and I was wondering if I could replace my dell inspiron for a G33M03 or DG33M03 so G33m02 I can also upgrade the processor now that I have access to the core 2 quad processors and 8gbs of ram for some, again, I am sorry I have to do yet another of them because what I saw thousands of people had doubts about this but none appeared to be conclusive enough for me
  Edit: Also, I forgot to ask, can I just buy a. G33M03 or DG33M03 MOBOs or not be a manufactured by Dell, also, these two are my only two choice in addition to become another G33M02? Again, I am really sorry and thank you for taking the time to read this

  SETH VALENTINET

  The G33m02 is a [cheaper] depopulated version of the motherboard that has only a voltage regulator IC 6, rather than regulators 11 voltage on the motherboard G33m03, that supports the processors Core 2 Duo and Quad Core.

  The card mother G33m02 can be replaced by the motherboard G33m03, but food must also be replaced by a unit 350w +, instead of the default 300w unit installed with the card mother G33m02.

  Inspiron motherboards are built by Foxconn for exclusive specifications of Dell.

  With regard to the installation of a non Dell motherboard, probably best to use a motherboard specs Dell, as the BIOS accept software OEM Dell, for example operating systems, more it will match the cabling of the Panel Connectors front chassis Dell.

  PS, I still have an old Inspiron 530 MT of 9 years, with a G33m02 motherboard was updated with hybrid hard drives, Windows 10 and an e8600 LGA 775 processor

• Inspiron 530 drivers for multimedia Audio Controller and SM Bus controller

  Work with your desktop Inspiron 530 with Vista Home Basic.

  In the devices under other devices Manager, I have two entries.  Both have the yellow exclamation point.

  -Controller Audio multimedia

  -SM Bus controller

  If I go to the Dell website and look for the serial number I can't find anything that fits this description.

  There is only a sound driver list that I downloaded and installed... but isn't for the RealTek device listed under sound, video and game controllers.

  With Device Manager search for the drivers do not turn anything.

  I was working remotely, and after the user firmly insisted that no sound card has been added to the computer - for the first hour I spent trying to solve this - he said at last... Oh, I remember now, we did add a sound card.
