Reference Dell studio xps8000 / 0X231R upgrade ram?

I have an old Dell XPS 8000 core i7 (860) 2.8 ghz system with 4 GB of ram (4 slots... 2x2gb sticks seem to be installed in slots of alternative with placeholders between?), I threw a PSU 550w in there.

Linux tells me that the motherboard is

Product name: 0X231R Version: A00

Googling seems to tell me that this will support 16 GB of ram. Is this fair?

I also seem to have a memory to find this motherboard is limited to 6 GB of just now, looking around I don't only upward.

is there anything else I should know before I go ahead and buy 2 x 4 GB 8 GB upgrade or 4x4gb for an upgrade to 16 GB... it will indeed ship support. is there a problem with 1600 mhz vs 1300 mhz rated memory. Should I change something in the BIOS to get this working.

If what I currently have is indeed 2x2gb sticks, no doubt I could buy 2x2gb to consider up to 8 GB

(I'm undecided on 8 or 16, I consider as pure and simple a new system of generation replacement i7, but I already have a newer laptop, I use a lot and I think that RAM + GPU upgrade could give me a good enough reason to continue using this machine... ram + ssd is expected to accelerate from the compilation whereas a new GPU should make decent games... I could see get a machine purely and simply new)

Hello

Please write to us. My name is Jennifer and I work for Dell's Social Media team.

According to compatibility is concerned, we confirm that the Studio XPS 8000 model only supports a maximum of 16 GB of RAM.

However, please be informed that this specific machine has been designed to accommodate a maximum memory frequency of 1333 MHz. We do not recommend users to exceed this specification while choosing memory modules RAM.

Currently, the official Dell memory selector has a single compatible memory available for sale (new part).

Accessories.Dell.com/.../ProductDetail.aspx; l = en & s = dhs & cs = 19 & sku = A6994453

It is a module 2 GB, and using 4 of them should spend your computer RAM to 8 GB.

If your Dell computer is currently under warranty, we recommend that you use the Dell brand memory to maintain the possibility of assignment/spare part replacement for your machine under the service contract.

However, if you want to update the external source memory modules, please use the following Dell as a reference in your search:

Memory at 1333 MHz - 60KD4
1067 MHz memory - N852H

Thank you for your continued interest in Dell computers. Please come back to this thread if you think that any unresolved issue persists in this regard, our team will gladly help you.

Have a nice day ahead.

Sincere greetings,

Jennifer

  • Motherboard of Dell Studio 1745 Upgrade...?

    OK, so I have a Dell Studio 1745 complete with Intel Graphics Decelerator and T6600 Core 2 Duo CPU

    Of all my research, the 1747 and 1749 the motherboards are "physically identical" in what concerns the shape/size, and whether or not it will physically fit in the body of the laptop.

    Now, I bought by mistake the SLBTV - Intel Core i5 - 540M 2.53 GHz/3 M PGA988/BGA1288 Mobile CPU processor thinking that it would work, having missed the 988 vs 478 on my 'Socket P '. Yes, the PET brain, but it is 4:00 and I'm tired!

    Okay, so now that I've made this mistake, my research told me that the motherboard 0W87G9 W87G9 THE - 5155P of the 1749 'fit' in my system and work with the processor I bought. (I'm just on this?)

    If so, logic tells me that my CPU/GPU heatsink would need to be replaced?

    I looked and it seems that the fan is almost universal, but it seems that I need the following heat sinks:

    G406T heatsink GPU
    D636T CPU radiator

    Does anyone know if I'm wrong on this as well?

    (The only problem I see is not have touches of heat transfer, but I think I can wing which)

    Now assuming I'm wrong on these 3 parts and rebuild my system with them...

    Anyone know if there is anything else I need to do in order to make this compatible configuration?

    I know to change the motherboard will panic MS as much as my Windows OEM, but I plan on upgrading to 8 and looking for a cheap to replace touch screen mine where I can find one?

    So far, this laptop seemed fairly extensible and interchangeable parts.

    Anyone know if I'm heading in the right direction or if I'm about to of Wile E Coyote myself in a brick wall?

    The only way to replace the graphics card is to replace the motherboard. My project has been a success, here are the basics for her.

    It will replace a few other small parts like heat from the processor synchronization and the addition of the synchronization of heat from the gpu to the Régie that you install. You will also need thermal pads for them so keep that in mind and have them ready when you are installing (composed as Arctic Silver won't be thick enough to fill the contacts). Also, it will almost certainly replace the processor. Check which processors work with the Board of Directors that you get and if yours is compatible. If you're going to 1749 as I did, your will not, but the new processor was not expensive. I don't remember whether or not they were the same at the 1747.

    The best thing I can say is go to "thepartspeople" which basically sell dell parts. You can put in your model laptop (1745) and then put in the motherboard as a part you want to replace. When you select the motherboard for the 1747 and 1749 it will tell you all the other parts you need to replace and whether or not they are in stock.

    If they do not have the parts in stock that you need, use the places of numbers and research of party like amazon, ebay, etc., of a place where you can buy a replacement work (I could find just enough cheap also). It's a bit of work, but in the end, it is very useful. If you're sufficiently savvy and determined than enough I myself built what would be a $1200-$1600 laptop + dollar market for long for like half the price. Using this method, I added touch screen, several operating systems and backlit keyboard of hard drives, blue-tooth, upgrade wifi, work on the top processor i5 and 5650 1 GB graphics card. I am fully satisfied with how it turned out.

    Free advice, however, if you have a webcam or a camcorder and decide to do this project yourself (the laptop) of narrow band take it apart and do it very slowly. This way if you are lost during reassembly you can listen to the recording back and watch how back together.

    For the record, here are my current characteristics of the 1745 with that I started:

    Motherboard: Dell Studio 1749

    Processor: Intel Core i5 - 540 M 2.53 GHz/3 m

    17.3 "touch screen (touch 2 points)

    8 GB ram DDR3

    2 x 1 TB of disk hard w / combo 8 GB SSD. (I run Win 7 and Ubuntu)

    It has Bluetooth, Wireless N and a backlit keyboard.

    I tried to use the Mini-PCI-E port as an SSD, but find the port type, there was not compatible with any of them I'd be interested in using. This proved more headaches that it was ultimately so I got a TV Tuner and put that in there. It is convenient when I'm in a hotel to use as a monitor for a game like the xbox a console.

    Put the touch screen was another easy change, but it took to get the Ribbon of the connector (like a couple of bucks) and a new cover. You must make sure that it is the thickest, but he did well enough in a new laptop.

    The only thing that I don't know about today is the cost and speed of the ram. When I did I have 8 GB of PC8500 really cheap and it works very well. I don't know if the higher clock speeds are working with her because I've capped on the motherboard for ram, and I know ram more expensive now.

    At the time I did this search for an opportunity 1749 I found one that was not nearly as upgraded like mine, and it's over $ 1300 used was a very profitable project and I had fun doing it. I learned so much about the interchangeability of parts dell of this project that I now only buy computers dell laptops. I found that to try a similar project with HP, I bought my wife to be almost impossible. The difference is with thepartspeople you can easily find the parts you need and what is needed to update/change their. There is no help, as with all other brands of laptop I found and HP's not even sell you parts so you are stuck guessing and buy everything used. Not funny! If you are unsure, you can actually call thepartspeople and ask them about upgrades and they're going to double check the requirements of the part for you. They are awesome and alone brought me as a customer to dell for a long time.

  • Reference Dell 968 AIO, Windows 7 on Dell Studio XPS - messed up

    I have a Dell 968 AIO which was printing on the use of pilots (probably the original) on my Dell XPS Studio 8000 Win 7 pc, a week ago. He stopped printing a few days ago.

    I assumed the problem was the drivers and not the ink. So I tried to install the new drivers. It does not solve the problem. Indeed, the new drivers would not install completely. When he got to the last step of the installation the Setup program just hung. More on this in a minute.

    I bought new ink cartridges and allowed me to test the 968 printer and it prints very well now.

    However, when I tried to print a document from the computer.

    I tried to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall new drivers. Unfortunately, I got the USB cable is plugged. So I have messed up, and it would not print. He could not "locate the file. I tried after I unplug the USB stick and a running registry cleaning. Still no luck, but worse, I noticed that the installers had left a lot of luggage around.

    • There is a folder c:/dell/drivers/986, which seems to have a lot of the old drivers.
    • There was a folder c:/program files (x 86) /Dell AIO Printer 968
    • And there is also a folder c:/program files (x 86) (x 86) /Dell 968 AIO Printer.

    I followed the steps for a clean uninstall, and it is where I am now. However, there a lot of carrying files around in Dell matter folders on my hard drive.

    I'm sure I made a complete mess of things, can anyone help?

    Hi pcphantom.

    The Studio 1745 a Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn) and Intel Celeron (Merom) processor that is compatible with Intel Cantiga (GM45 / PM45) chipset. CPU Intel Core i5 - 540 M 2.53 GHz/3 M PGA988/BGA1288 will be compatible with these chipsets (MP 55, 57 HM, HM 55, QM 57 57 QS) the processor that you want to install it in the system is therefore not compatible with the chipset.

    I plan to upgrade my desktop computer Dell Studio XPS 8100 with a new graphics card, so that I can play new games such as Skyrim and Star Wars the old republic.

    Can someone tell me which of these cards is best for this purpose, corresponds to my computer and if other changes are needed (ideally no)?

    EVGA GTX 550 VGA (GDDR5, PCI-Express, 2 GB)
    Sapphire 6750 (PCI Express, DDR3, 2 GB)
    Sapphire 6790 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1 GB)
    PALIT GTX 550 Ti (GDDR5, PCI Express, 1 GB)

    Thanks in advance,

    Sikkaech

    Based on the recommended for Skyrim card, you will need to go with the HD 6790 or GTX 550 it.  However, your biggest problem is food that is only 350 watts.  For all these cards, a higher power is recommended by the manufacturer.  The HD 6790 is the best on the list with the GTX 550 Ti in 2nd.  I'll take the other two on your list because they would fall the recommended card, but they would always play the games.   I would recommend if you upgrade the power supply to go with a unit of minimum mark of 500 watts with the necessary connections.

    Skyrim recommended card: 1 GB RAM NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher).  Old video card then the ones I showed would be comparable.

    If you choose not to change your diet, a GTS 450 or HD 6750 can work.  I don't see much interest to get a card of 2 GB to this level.  It's going to be better than GDDR3 memory GDDR5.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite P70-A104

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop P70-A104 and I wonder if I can upgrade the RAM. Currently my laptop is having 8 GB of RAM, and I wonder if it is possible to upgrade to 16 GB and also if I am covered by insurance of portable.

    Can you give me suggestions on how to do it and that the RAM is the ideal place to buy?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Specification for your laptop, I found here. As you can see RAM upgrade is possible, but you have access to two ports of RAM only, and you can use 2 x 8 GB of RAM.

    I wasn't able to find the list with compatible Rams but for an another P70 compatible 8 GB of RAM a reference PA5104U-1M8G or Kingston part number KTT-S3CL / 8G so I think you can use it to upgrade RAM.

    Check it out.
