• Upgrade CPU Dell Dimension 9150

  Hello!

  I have a Dell Dimension 9150 and it has a Pentium D 2.8 Ghz processor.

  Dell.com support lists: processor, 80547, PENTIUM D SMITHFIELD for workstations..., 820 SKT - T, male

  What is the highest and/or upgrade best remaining for the Pentium D processors?

  Where are some of the best places to shop in a relatively straight price besides eBay?

  I read so many messages but still confused.

  Discovered that she can be Pentium D 840, 3.2GGhz, but has noticed that some people say that there is more available as the Pentium D 930, 950 or 945 processor.

  Intel website is very confusing because it does not necessarily list the most valuable info and there are variations within each class of processor.

  I intend to keep (hopefully!) the computer for another 1-3 years (?), have upgraded from storage for 2 hard drives of 1 TB, maxed out 4G memory (although Windows XP won't recognise that the 3.5 G) and has even with graphics card, Radeon 256, X 600 MRMGA 370W PSU +.

  I would like to upgrade processor for video work that I perform.

  Did not notice a fan of the sink on top of processor but check! Will I need one? Thermal glue specific for help?

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You should be able to switch to a Pentium D 960 3.6 GHz

  It is a passive radiator and the fan inside the fairing.

  As you intend to reuse the heat sink, you must plan on his basic cleaning and reapplying thermal paste to the processor.

  Instructions for cleaning and application of thermal paste, are HERE.

  You only need a small tube of thermal paste, it can be purchased from a computer store.

• Dell dimension e520 Motherboard upgrade

  Hi, I have a Dell Dimension E520 and I was wondering if it takes care of all new mothers of dell. Thanks for your help.

  hunterp15

  There is no motherboards, other than a Dell e520 OEM motherboard that will fit the owner e520 EOL BTX chassis, or y at - it available BTX retail motherboards.

  The Dimension e520 is the latest model of this series, Dell made.

  Only 65 processors with 800 or 1066fsb will work with the E-520.

  The Q6700 should work, but before installing the processor, make sure you have BIOS version 2.2.1 [or more] installed, when additional CPU support has been added.

• Update the motherboard on a Dell Dimension E520

  Hello

  I have a Dell Dimension E520 with an Intel Celeron 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Windows Vista 32 - Bit for about a year now and the speed of the processor. But with 1 core is not enough. I opened the case and found that the CPU is soldered in to the motherboard and what it is not replaceable, so I replace the motherboard with one that comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHZ. My question is what can I replace the motherboard on it and what kind of specifications of the motherboard will work with Dell Dimension E520.

  Thank you

• Video card in Dell Dimension E520

  Can I put a GeForce 9800 GT 1 GB hybrid on a Dell Dimension E520? I just bought a 500 watt PSU, so I'm sure that I have enough power, but I'm not sure if it will run on an E520. I don't know if it will take place just because I don't know what is hybrid. But I read that the PCI Express 2.0 x 16 will work on motherboards with just the PCI Express x 16.

  I currently have a GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB.

• Upgrade memory Dell Dimension 9150

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade memory RAM on my Dell Dimension 9150 Dual Core (DXP051) clocked at 2.8 GHZ with 1 GB of ram. Motherboard is Dell 0YC523. IGB memory currently.

  Watching the RAM is OCZ Enhanced latency Platinum XTC Edition revision 2 with speed 800 Mhz - CL4 (4-4-4-15) latency. 2 GB

  OCZ recommendation is to increase the volatge of ram to 2.1V on the BIOS but I don't think that this is possible on the Dell motherboard.

  Previousposts research, someone also asked a similar question but for an XPS 720 PC.

  The solution suggested something about SLI or EPP ready... I'm not sure what it means. This means that the RAM must be SLI or EPP ready to be compatible with the motherboard of Dimension I or the mothersboard must be ready for use of these modules of memory SLIp/PPE? Can I use this module and if so, how do I change the voltage or the motherboard will adjust it automatically?

  If not, can I get some other RAM?

  Thanks in advance.

  
  

• Upgrading CPU for Dimension 4600.

  Hi, I am currently using a Dell Dimension 4600 with Pentium 4 processor clocked at 2.66 Ghz Socket 478, I read somewhere

  only the motherboard i've got will take up to a 3.2 Ghz CPU. I was going to buy a Pentium 4 3 Ghz SL7e4 that supports Hyper Threading technology. What I want to know is, will my support of the Dimension of this processor. I don't know where else to ask. Also I guess it's a prescott because she has a 1 mb L2 cache am I have reason to believe that they can become quite hot, can I do something for cooling or can I just use the old radiator and fan.

  Cheers for your help.

• 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.

• I just bought Office 2010 and it will not install on my Dell Dimension E520

  Yes, I still have a Dell Dimension. The problem is Microsoft office 2010 home and student not install on my computer because it says I need service pack 1. Which I've improved on my computer.

  I recently had to reinstall the operating system (Vista Edition home premium)

  and I go through updates and I checked to see if it installed service pack 1, and he did it successfully. so, what's the problem?

  See that this thread said to check your version of Service Pack and also try to install SP2 for Vista if you have not installed it.

  What happens if you try to install Office to locate the installer exe and a right click that and select 'run as administrator '.  Do this even if you are an administrator.

  See if allows you to temporarily disable any Anti Virus program running.
