My girl frind has a dell desktop I think it's like a pentium 4 inspiron.
My question is this. How do I find out how much RAM the mother board will accept?? She has 512MB right now and I wanted to up grade to 2gb. (How can I find out the chips in there ie. two 256MBs or one 512MB)
I want to also install an internal Wifi card so we can move it somewhere else in the house, I noticed on E-bay they are fairly inexpensive (25$ or so). How can I find out if it's compatible with her computer?
Last. I want to give her Video/Graphics a little bit more of a boost, another one how can i find out if they are compatible??
I guess in general, where can I go on the computer and find out stuff like that. Like how many available slots are on the mother board stuff like that??
Not only am I just trying to upgrade her system, but also expand my knowledge a little bit....
any help is appreciated..
Thanks
Jeff
