Question for Dell Computer Guru's

[Tru2Chevy]

I second what MrCoffe says....just buy a new video card (ATI or nVidia cards in the $150 range are all pretty good), 99% of the cards on the market will be compatible with your system.

Those intel extreme integrated graphic processors are anything but extreme - fine for Word and Solitaire, but garbage for any real gaming.

Heres what I've done to my Dell 4600, I uped the ram from 256MB to 1.25GB, added a RAID card and striped it, and a new Western Digital hard drive.

IDE CONTROLLER SYBA| SD-ATA133R RT (the RAID card)
I can't find the link to where it is.

HD 80GB|WD 7200RPM 8MB WD800JB% (the Hard drive)

MUSHKIN 1GB DDR PC2700 SDRAM 991148 (the Memory)

It works pretty good except when I run the 3D Mark it scores pretty $#!tty when compaired to my roomie's comp, but in the cpu tests with my upgraded memory it blows his comp out of the water. If you are looking to do gamming I would go for the video card.

You could add enons to your computer?

I added a high flow can and blue circular neon to mine, it goes mid 12's now [img]tongue.gif[/img]
