can anyone who uses this Machine shed any light on it I was given one (Brand New) for free for being the first customer at a New store opening near me Anyway the one I got has the E8400 3.0Ghz 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 IntelĀ® 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.
Congratulations a great Xmas present. possible a CF and adapter to replace the HDD or a SSD. http://www.think4d.de/nbb/x41_ssd.htm http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/flash-ssd-hard-drive,2000.html
