Thanks! I will keep that in mind. I'm also going to seriously consider building my own rig. If I spend a few more days on this forum, I just might end up deciding that way! I built my own system once and it was a lot of fun. I just find it very very hard to stick to my budget when I build my own...
I have a GeForce 6600 128MB (PCI-E) and 512 MB of RAM. Not sure what the specs are for the RAM. I'm definitely getting a decent graphics card. Probably the GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB or GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB.
For about $460, I can get a basic Dell PC with Core 2 Duo E7200 and 1GB RAM. If I add...
Thanks for the replies. The upgrade is mostly for gaming purposes. One of the games I play has been struggling cos I installed some eye-candy mods. Also, i was planning on getting Oblivion.
I used the Dell Service Tag to find my specs on Dell site. I think an upgrade is probably not a good...
Hi!
I bought a Dell system 3 years. It's has a Pentium 4 3GHz chip on it. I'm considereing upgrading the processor, RAM and GPU.
I'm not sure how to figure out what chipset the motherboard is using and so that I can determine which CPU to buy. I'm sure the dual core processors won't work...
Hi!
The Canon Rebel XT deal in back on Dell. They have a 20% off coupon code that became valid today (valid till the 21st or maybe 23rd). Plus I got a $35 off $300 Dell coupon from Ebay for $1.
Stack the two coupons and camera become $684. Add the $100 rebate from Canon and this becomes a...
Just called Microcenter ... new stock is coming in soon ... but the store price is $178 before $45 rebate. Not even warm. I think the web deal was a mistake. Doubt anyone got in on it.
You might want to get a bigger power supply. You've loaded your system with high end stuff. Instead on Sonata 2, you can consider getting an Antec SLK3000B ... it's an awesome case that's only $45. Then you can get a good quality 550W power supply. You'd still be spending the same as you would...
You need to boot floppy disk ... hope you have a floppy drive. With a boot disk, you load up to DOS. You can easily create a boot disk on a friend's computer if he has a floppy drive too.
The thought did cross my mind ... I was gonna try it when I found I had no cable ... the drive I bought was OEM and didn't come with cables ... and DELL didn't give me any extra cables ... I notices the connector on my drive was slightly different than the connector on the DELL drive ... which...
I bought a SATA2 harddrive thinking I'll get NForce4 Ultra motherboard when I build my system. But I bought a Dimension 9100 instead of building my system. I think Dimension 9100 supports SATA1. Can I add SATA2 drive to te motherboard?
Also, does SATA1 and SATA2 use the same cable? The...
Go to Dells' Small Business page ... scroll down a bit and you'll see a link to Outrageous Deal. Clink on that and then click on Desktop, you'll get the 9100 with 20 inch LCD deal. You can customize to your heart's content there.
But my advice is not customize. Buy the stock system and add in...
