XPS 630i rehabilitation project - what can be done to modernize an old computer
7 years on a single computer without difficulty is pretty cool, but its slow significantly, can't do recent games, video stream teams all the time, move files and using video editing software is almost eternal.
The system is XPS 630i, CPU = QX6850, 3 GHz, 8 MB, CDKE, G0. RAM is 4 GB. video card is two cards of the crossfire Radeon 3800 series. Vista Home premium 32-bit. storage is disk 920 GB internal and external two drives of 1 TB Buffalo (1 is the backup of the system)
(1) is there a CPU upgrade option?
(2) update of what graphics card?
(3) should move from Vista to another help system?
(4) is there an option to upgrade to RAM?
I can still a few years out of this system, with say, $500?
Thanks for the tips
JMNessel3Thank you Philip for your thoughts.
My 630i has 4 GB of RAM installed. Dell said it's the max. Evolution of operating systems that would change?
Change to a 64 bit OS you will allow more than 4 GB of RAM and Crucial says that the maximum is 8 GB address:

However DDR2 RAM has increased a lot in price recently and the $142 - $208 maybe not worth it. That money would be better spent on the Solid State Drive.

You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.
Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)
See you soon

When you open the bridge I get empty frames, I have to click on each one to open and see the picture, is a person tried before and what can be done to fix the problem?
Reset preferences, reset the default workspace, and purge the cache.
Damaged preferences or workspaces can cause unexpected behavior in Adobe Bridge. Purge the cache can solve problems of the thumbnail display.
- Start Adobe Bridge, and immediately press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS down) until the dialogue box reset settings appears.
- Select all three options - reset preferences, reset Standard Workspaces and all miniature Purge Cache - and then click OK.
