  Best regards, John

  With an older system like the 3000, you will only be able to use the old PCI interface for a video card.  These cards are more expensive and there is no reason to spend too much on an upgrade when dealing with older systems like that. Popular cards have been the 6200 Nvidia 8400 GS or the best 9400 GT.  Do not forget only the PCI interface.  No AGP or PCI Express.

  I'm not sure what your goal is the upgrade, but don't expect too much.  I know that people have upgraded to these cards to play games like the Sims.  Your system is just old with old parties slow and he can't move much faster with a video card.  You have 3 PCI slots on the motherboard.  Put the card into the top slot of most and move all other cards down lower if installed.  You should probably disable your chart integrated through your device manager before installing a video card for it to work and make sure that the first video is correct in the bios.

  It is absolutely essential that any new module of RAM is fully compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other module of RAM already in the system.  In addition, there are sometimes jumper switches on old motherboards that need to be reset for new configurations of the RAM.  Consult the manual of your motherboard or the web site of the manufacturer for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.

  If you can't get your hands on the manual of the computer and the manufacturer does not provide a support web site, you can use these utilities to help determine the right kind of RAM required:

• Replacement of a card mother Dell Dimension 3000 with a Dimension 4600 motherboard

  Recently I replaced my processor in my Dell Dimension 3000, however, at the start he always tells me that the processer is not supported by the Bios, so I still have to press F1 to start upward. I heard you can counter this is replacing the Board with a Board of a Dimension 4600 however, I know not what condition the Board of Directors must be in. Can I replace it with a Board of direct administration of a Dimension 4600 or what I need to get a referbished or the new Board of Directors?

  scprokop

  A work of a Dimension 4600 motherboard can be used, provided it is in a usable state.

  As the Dimension 4600 is obsolete for many years, I doubt there is very no new motherboards available, only the so-called "renovated" boards, which are 'pull system '.

  Thank you

  Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

• Dimension 3000 ide cables

  Hi all!

  I have a Dimension 3000, with a 3 GHZ P4 which seems to have been built in the second half of 2004, running Windows XP Home Edition.

  I want to move to a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 hard drive 250 GB and replace the DVD, (it seems to be failing), with a DH20A4P Lite-on.

  To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like this pc comes with 40 40 son/way points ide cables.  What I have to, or I, should replace those with wire/40 pin 80 way cables?

  Thanks, Larry
