Can you upgrade a dell desktop




















We like to know! Thank you! The only sensible way to "upgrade" a Pentium 4 machine is by replacement, even if you're only getting a used machine 2 or 3 generations newer. You need to be looking at late Core 2 machines as a minimum. Used or "refurbished" Dell Optiplex machines are widely available at reasonable prices. Hi, it's not a cost issue.

Odd as it may sound, there is a lot of sentimental value to this particular desktop, so that is why I want to upgrade it rather than change up. Posted 31 January - PM. Posted 01 February - AM. You have Windows XP that is an outdated and a no longer supported Operating System, to be safe specially to access the Internet you need to replace the OS.

Linux is free if you want to continue using Windows you need to buy a license. What about for my machine, which the specs say PC? What would be the maximum supported RAM? Posted 01 February - PM. The machine is very unfriendly for upgrading.

You can put in additional RAM and a new hard drive I suppose. The processor will run a 64 bit version of Linux. It isn't possible to upgrade the video. Even Windows 7 will be a stretch.

I was thinking about purchasing a Dell Dimension because of the free shipping and free upgrade to 19 in monitor, and I was wondering if I could upgrade in the future?

If you plan on upgrading with a new motherboard, it is impractical to buy a Dell. Dell motherboards and case are built to Dell specifications are and are not easily upgraded. Every now and then they have awesome deals on ready builts, and I have picked up several of those for my family before since they came with the warranty and were only a few dolars more than the computer I could build equally, but those will soon be out of date and I can't upgrade them much higher since they are p3 systems.

If you can well I should say if you have the time and will to build your own. Also they might have propriety PSUs so only their motherboards will work in it. They also install unecessary junk on the comp. Also, it gives you that " I built that computer" feeling.

On the other hand I hear Dell does make very good monitors. I have found it hard to match the price of the Dell's when building one to match Including a new OS and other included software.

Fold for Team32 The fact that Earth had both higher temperatures and an ice age at a time when CO2 levels were 10 times higher than they are today, fundamentally contradicts the certainty that human-caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming. They're usually better price wise cuz a lot of the deals include LCD monitors, printers, software, and technical support. Build your own and you're ON your own. Generally, most brand-name computers cannot be upgraded significantly AGP slots have been standard for more than 5 years.

For low end I will recommend a Dell or the likes, but mid to high-level computers there's no way I'd waste my money on a cookie cutter.
