• Upgrading RAM on Dell Dimension 4600

  I just installed two 512 GB for my Dell Dimension 4600 CPU memory cards.  The computer came with two, 256 GB cards, but he had got terribly slow.  Dell said that no matter if the size of the maps varies.  However, my system does not reflect the installation of additional memory.  It is preferable or essential only for install memory cards additional of the same size as the existing cards?

  You mean 512 MB and 256 MB (not GB) I guess.

  See the response of Daave, but also to note the following two points:

  1. you started with 512 MB. The amount of RAM you need for good
  performance is not a unique situation for all. You get the right
  performance, if the amount of RAM you have prevents you from using the
  page file significantly, and this depends on what applications you are running. Most
  are people who run a typical range of business under XP applications
  somewhere around 512 MB work well, others need more. Almost
  everyone will see poor performance with less than 256 MB. Some people,
  especially those making things like the large photographic edition
  images, can see a performance gain by adding even more of
  512MB - sometimes much more.

  Unless you have special needs, so it is likely that the 512 MB you
  started with was enough for you.

  2. you say "he had got painfully slow." This implies that the
  performance was OK, but it had worsened. This reinforces that
  I said in point 1 above. You don't need more memory simply because that
  time has elapsed.

  There are several possibilities for why he had obtained more slow, but the
  more likely is that you have been infected by malicious software. What
  anti-virus and anti-spyware programs that you are running? They remain until
  Date?

• Upgrade of RAM up to 8 GB - DELL Vostro 3700

  Hello world!

  I decided to upgrade my DELL Vostro 3700 with 4 GB of RAM up to 8. Is it feasible and technically possible to have 2 memory glue 4 GB each?

  I read the manual, it is that I can use up to 4 GB in each slot. A year ago, I heard that DELL support does not recommend to have more than 2 GB in each slot. WHO KNOWS?

  Hi Pholiant,

  Dell Vostro 3700 has 2 SODIMM slots. The system accepts a memory of 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB capacity. The type of memory accepted either DDR3 1066 MHz DDR3 1333 MHz SODIMM only. The computer supports a maximum of 8 GB of memory when it is installed with two DIMMS to 4 GB.

• Upgrade processor or motherboard on Dell Vostro 230 Mini-Tower

  I have a Dell Vostro 230 Mini-Tower, and the vehicle currently has Intel Pentium E6500 processor. I would like to move on to something better, because my current processor does not meet the minimum requirements of some games I want to play. I was wondering what processor I could update? I know that the new processor has to adapt to the taking of the motherboard, but I don't know how to find out what socket has my current motherboard, or even what motherboard it is.

  I would also like to know, if I upgrade the processor, but instead get a new motherboard, can't I get a motherboard and plug and it will come with a new processor, or he will have to adapt my current processor? Upgrading the motherboard makes much difference to the speed of CPU if I don't actually pass the processor?

  I am running Windows SP3 & DirectX 11, with 4 GB of RAM, and I also have an ATI Radeon 5670 HD graphics card and a power of 300W.

  I have to get a new power supply if I upgraded the motherboard or processor?

• Why is upgrade Windows 10 - not Dell Vostro 3550 on the list of Dell?

  I found this list on the Dell site that tells you if they tested a particular model for its ability to be upgraded to Windows 10.   The Dell Vostro 3550 is not on the list of 20 Vostro models, some wearing low model numbers, some superiors.   They will never test it?

  If you try to upgrade, windows 10 copies files and then in the 2nd of three main sections of the upgrade (where you have this big circle in the middle of the screen), it just goes to a blank screen and then ceases all activity of the disc, and it becomes well hung.   Of course, now the machine think operating system is win 10 and you cannot return to a recovery point 7 win.  If you lost all of your data and applications and restore the image and then install the windows 7 208 updates and it takes like 8 hours total.

  Looks like a similar problem that people with Vostro ranging from win 7 to win 8.   Why not fix it.

  Also, I fell into the same rabbit hole. But I realized quickly that it was a video problem and I hung on an alternative to the unit's LCD monitor... worked just fine, there has been able to do the update of bio and play with the drivers.

• My laptop is a Dell Vostro 1720 of 32 bits, and so I accept I can't upgrade my Muse more away, but which has hosted a site for me, what should I do to add another site?

  My laptop is a Dell Vostro 1720 of 32 bits, and so I accept I can't upgrade my Muse more away, but which has hosted a site for me, what should I do to add another site?

  Hello

  What I understand, that is, you already have a free site hosted with Adobe Business catalyst, and now you want to get a more.

  To do so, publish a Muse Adobe Business catalyst site.

  Access to the administration panel and go to settings-> Site Management site, you should see the upgrade option, you will pay for the site, because it is not a free site.

  Let me know if you have any questions, or if I have missed something

• Question ram Dell Vostro 3449

  Hello

  I'm considering buying laptop Dell Vostro 3449, I have a question about ram.

  I want to increase the ram 8 GB, but the manual says it can support up to 4 GB only.

  Can anyone confirm whether or not the ram is expandable? All the world does?

  I know the chipset that has this laptop?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Thanks for writing on the Dell Community Forum.

  Dell Vostro 3449 takes in charge only DDR3 low voltage (DDR3L1600MHz 1.35v). It is not compatible with the DDR3 memory. This system only has a memory location and supports a maximum memory of 8 GB.

  The chipset on this system is Intel 9 Series Chipset PCH (PCH - LP 9 Series).

• 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.

  No anti-virus installed at the present time, no anti-spyware, no firewall.

  Repost: What were the problems you are experiencing that you thought that a "new facility" could solve?

  The foregoing notwithstanding, and since you neglected to install an antivirus application...

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• CC 7100 cmt: questions upgrade ram cmt dc 7100 (please help)

  Hey all,.
  There is history... or you can just go to the section "cut to the Chase" to the bottom of the post

  The long story...
  my name is chris, and I'm trying to help a 14-year-old son, friends learn a lil more on his old pc.

  his pc has a hand and is obviously outdated, I got a bunch of old carcasses of office and let him rumage anything that would contribute to his pc. We found a total of 3 GB of ram ddr400mhz which is just below its limit of 4 GB machines.

  so I thought everything would go smoothly, it is certainly not my first ram upgrade, having built many of the old desktop computers it was inflict through, I consider myself pretty well informed on the pc and have renovated a lot of pc, same Freelancer my skills of mechanics and tokens for a lil extra cash on the side I have dealt with many a problem, repair and upgrade, since I took my first windows machine in 2000, before that I started with a commodore 64 and eventually got an apple iic when I was about 10 years old... anyway, what im getting here, is I USED to know my s#@t, but for some reason any It's evading me and google isn't offering anything on the subject.

  We planned on him to update to sp3 after have modernized their equipment as much as we can, while at the same time educate him as much as I could about how the computer worked, how to open and how to treat the components inside, it was the first time, he had never looked inside his machine or any machine besides...

  However, because of delays and the issue with the ram does not, I eventually send him home with the same stock set up, he brought to me.

  Cut to the Chase

  The problem here is that for some reason when I install 1, 2 or 3 the cards of ram 1 GB the machine do not post and triggers a series of beeps system, so obviously something isn't jiving, and I can't put my finger on it.
  I can use 1,2,3 or all 4 of his stock [256 MB ddr 400 mhz] ram cards and it will display and start with change messages memory clear system, however, when you use less than four of its ram slots, a message is launched upward during post, stating something to the effect of all the slots must contain the same amount of ram

  We are working on PC is a:
  HP DC 7100 CMT
  Windows XP SP2

  current installed RAM is [256 MB ddr 400 mhz] x 4 = a total of 1 GB

  tried to upgrade RAM parts:
  Ballistix [1 GB ddr 400 mhz] x 2 = a 2 GB total

  more

  Memory Dell [1 gb ddr] (mhz are not)

  I thought it was probably a bios thing and was about to investigate, but we ran out of time, now I'm tender hand to this community in the hope that someone here can indicate what it is I'm obviosly dominant, I really want to get his machine is upgraded because it is expessing a lot of interest in Unity3D , and scripts, ANDS I'd like see hiw cultivate these skills and I can't buy a machine, and he cannot afford a new machine, so the upgrade of its rigging with these old quarters would be the most ideal situations for him, if we cannot find out we will simply create a new rig out of my 'old' , but the 3.0 ghz core dou in his dc 7100 cmt processor is probably better than any of the alternatives in my attic... so yes this is my dilemma and I hope that some here is kind enough to point me in the right direction

  Thank you and best regards,
  Chris

  Hello:

  You must have the total amount of memory in slots 1 and 3 are the same, and the same quantity in slots 2 and 4.

  The PC will not work if you put 1 GB in slot 1, 1 GB in slot 2 and 1 GB in the Groove 3 because you're short 1 GB in the empty slot 4 and just short of 1 GB in slot 4 = 5 beeps.

  Then... If you do not have 4 x 1 GB then use 1 GB in slots 1 and 3 and 256 MB in slots 2 and 4.

  See the table below on page 16 memory configuration.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
