can anyone who uses this Machine shed any light on it ??? I was given one (Brand New) for free ;D for being the first customer at a New store opening near me 8) Anyway the one I got has the E8400 3.0Ghz :dry: 500GB HDD 4GB RAM running at 800MHz Etc..Etc.. but what I did notice was no Graphics card so to speak of but the Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100.
So what I've done is to replace that with a ASUS EN8400GS 256MB Card,but had to use a low profile bracket to install it due to the narrowness of the Inspiron design. Also I boosted up the Graphics size from 128MB to 256 in the BIOS. So far it seems a slick little machine,and whisper quiet,Maybe because the PSU is only 250W.
Does anyone know if I can upgrade this rascal even higher ??? i.e Higher PSU/Graphics/RAM/ even a higher end MB in time.
