Re: RAM and GFX Help

1) you only have 2 slots to begin with..

2) no, you only have PCI slots

If you don't open it how are you gonna add ram and a video card?

You're gonna have to open the case. Make sure you turn everything off, unplug it, and try to figure out how to open it. There is no sure way to tell unless you open it.

Sorry guys..i didnt really have time to look it up but now i do..doing now

System Specs:

http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_Dimension_4600/4507-3118_7-30529709.html?tag=sub

or better reference:

i says i have 4 Memory "Connectors" which I assume is RAM

The RAM it can take is PC2700 (333-MHz) or PC3200 (400-MHz) DDR SDRAM
(non-ECC) these are all 184-Pin

Re: RAM and GFX Help

You have an AGP slot and yes that GFX card will work, assuming your PSU is up to the task. It says your PSU is 250W, which is on the low side.

Does it matter if its 20 pin or 20pin+4 connector or not? because my PSU plug is 20 pin

Re: RAM and GFX Help

well im not 100% sure on that, if your gonna upgrade your PSU phone dell, or where you got your PC and ask.

Re: RAM and GFX Help

I don't believe that Dell uses Matx, I believe the actual unit is about that size, but the pin configuration may be diffrent. Don't take my word on that though.

As for RAM, did you need 1GB stick or 2x512?

just has to be 2x512 or 2x256 i only have 2 more slots...

Re: RAM and GFX Help
