    Need helping upgrading RAM

    Thanks. I've run that test at Crucial before and seen the "recommended matchups" list. The link I posted is actually Crucial brand memory but from Newegg.com which has it at a cheaper price. I'm trying to figure out though if the memory I'm looking at at Newegg is the same memory that...

    Need helping upgrading RAM

    Hey y'all. I'm looking for help in upgrading my RAM. I only have the slightest knowledge of computers. Only thing I've ever done inside one is upgraded RAM on an older computer and upgraded the PSU. Anyhow, I'm not positive what "type" of RAM I need for my Dell XPS 630i. I tried yesterday...

    What do y'all recommend in a new Dell computer for gaming?

    Sounds good. Will the x4 925 perform any better than the x3 720? Is there any better ones? I'm so sorry but I've got so many questions. Please answer what you can and I'll keep trying to research the rest. Thank you all so much. Do you recommend any extra case fans? What would be a safe power...

    What do y'all recommend in a new Dell computer for gaming?

    OK I'll have to get back to you on the discount price. I can't remember what it was but I know it's a certain percent off. Regardless of price however I still doubt I will build my own. I'd like to try to learn how one day but this isn't the time. I, for one, don't know how to build one and two...

    What do y'all recommend in a new Dell computer for gaming?

    There is a great deal through work with Dell. I totally forgot about it actually when I got that price. I'll have to see what I can get it for through work.

    What do y'all recommend in a new Dell computer for gaming?

    Hey y'all, I'm looking at getting a new computer soon and I hope to upgrade a bit from my current one. Right now I can play BF2 semi-decent but plenty of room for improvement. This one is 5 years old and has been run HARD. Current specs are: Dell Dimension 8300 Windows XP Pentium(R) 4 CPU...

    PSU causing lag problems?

    Sounds good. You think it would fit fine too? I don't mind cutting but only if I absolutely have to and there's no way around. I've never swapped a PSU before but is it basically just disconnect old PSU wires and slide old PSU out. Then slide new PSU in, connect new PSU wires and you're good to...

    PSU causing lag problems?

    Yeah, I've been searching on google and read that too. A search led me to this link which sells specific Dell-compatible power supplies. Do you think this looks legitimate? Dell Upgrade Power Supplies from PC Power & Cooling

    PSU causing lag problems?

    I just took a look at the PSU. All of the information was on the bottom so it was tough to get a good look at and I couldn't find an amp rating. I did see that it's rated for only 305W though.

    PSU causing lag problems?

    Hey yall, I've recently been trying to get my 6-7 or so year old computer back into gaming. I used to be able to play just fine but an old video card died and crap got built up on this computer. I've got great advice recently from yall here on a video card upgrade and a RAM upgrade. I can now...

    Thanks so much fellas. I just went ahead and purchased the 1GB link. Now I'll just have to work on trying to clean some of this clutter off this computer until it gets here. Thanks again. I appreciate it. Oh, one last thing. When I do get it should I put it in the paired slot with the 1GB stick...

    RAM for my Dell 8300

    Hey y'all, A few years back I used to be able to play BF2 so smoothly on my Dell 8300 until my old video card died. I ended up getting a cheap replacement and lived with it for a while but now I'm looking to try to get back into the game again. I recently picked up a nice Radeon HD 3850 256-bit...
