The Dimension E520's earliest BIOS came out in 2006 while XP Service Pack 2 was released in 2004. It should not be old enough to be supplied with a Windows XP with only Service Pack 1 CD. Moreover XP...

Unfortunately, you would have to move up to a GTX 660 to get a display port. I would go with the HD 7770 HERE which is actually better than the GTX 650 for around the same cost.

Guys, I'm facing a similar dilemma. I'm trying to upgrade RAM to 32GB in my XPS 8700 tower. I bought expensive Corsair Vengeance RAM but when I plugged it into the system board it ran only @ DDR3-1330...

You also may have to get a longer connector to your hard drive, like a 10-12 inch rather than an 8 inch coming from the motherboard to the HD, since these graphics cards are huge.

I have one of these; the fan is an odd size, so I don't know if there are any alternatives to the OEM product.

This memory worked fine at 1600 MHz however Newegg seems to be out of it at this time. Try Crucial. httpwww.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239291

I need to save for another month, this cost just a little more than expected. Am expecting a rebate from ASUS for the monitor I bought, that will help.
View ArticleForum Post: RE: Dell Precision T6300
probably you mean Dell Precision T3600... anyway, if you don't use RAID functionality, you can simply bypass the PERC controller, connecting the SATA drive directly to the mainboard.
