Inspiron 6000 - 4gb possible?

I know this is somewhat of an old thread, but does anyone know if I need a bios upgrade to actually see 2gb of ram? I've got 2x1gb installed, but the laptop only sees 1gb.

Which Motherboard?

That's kinda what I was thinking. Use the multiple slots, but ignore the SLI capabilities. Not sure if it's worth doing though since I can just get another multi-PCI-X board instead.

Which Motherboard?

Sounds like the Rampage Formula is the better choice. I was thinking about going with the 780i since it'd provide the multiple video card slots ... but it seems like it's a board more geared towards gaming than what I need. I may tinker around with overclocking the Q9450, but it's not a top...

Which Motherboard?

I'm trying to decide which motherboard I should go with to complete my components for my next build. I'm not a HUGE gamer, but do play games from time to time. That said, I'm not going to worry too much if my game is a few FPS slower than my competition. I bought the Q9450 because I did want...

I want to run one 30" and two 19" LCDs ... What do I need MB-wise?

I kinda don't want to go w/ an ATI solution as I already own an 8800GT card. Appreciate the suggestions.

I want to run one 30" and two 19" LCDs ... What do I need MB-wise?

Can a Crossfire motherboard be used with dual-non-ATI video cards in a non-paired configuration? Just using the two cards as individual video cards? I was thinking of going with dual 8800GT video cards as my video cards, and a Core2 Quad Q6600 as my CPU (unless a 45nm quad comes down in...

I'm assuming a suitable motherboard for this type of setup would be an SLI-motherboard running in non-SLI mode w/ one video card driving the 30" LCD, and another card driving both 19" LCDs. Is that correct?

*DEAD* 8800GTs BACK IN-STOCK and $208 (MSI) and $235 (XFX) at Dell!

Is there any reason to go with a more expensive eVGA 8800GT Superclocked? Couldn't I just overclock the MSI card? Is there a notable performance difference between the two? I just paid $100 more for the eVGA card. Thanks ... been out of the video card game for a number of years.

CompUSA Hard Drives On Sale all in one post

Not a bad price, but those only have 8MB cache, not 16 like the 250GB Maxtor.
