  • XPS 630i - WinRAR problems (Q9300 vs Q6600)

    I have a very particular problem with WinRar and my XPS 630i ( Q9300, 4 GB Ram, Vista, no overclocking). WinRar would find "corrupted files" in ".RAR" archives where there is no corrupted files. WinZip has no problem reading these files. ( The corrupted files are always big files...

  • XPS410 Upgrade - CPU,GPU,PSU

    Hi everyone, I've done some homework on this already; this topic has been beaten in multiple threads, but please bear with me here. So I've got a Dell XPS410 that has aged nicely (circa September 2006), but I'm looking to squeeze out some additional performance before I have to build a new...

  • Re: Upgrading Dimension E520 CPU - BIOS release notes

    I also found the same Japanese site with some guy using a Q6700 on a Dell Dimension E520. He even posted pics of his benchmarks: http://xps-700.com/dell/img/12111702240060.jpg http://xps-700.com/dell/img/12111702240061.jpg I'm pretty sure that if the Q6600 works, the Q6700 should work, too. Both...

  • Re: Inspiron 518 Upgrades

    Is there a difference in the motherboard used back whenever my PC was built with the Q6600 and yours? I'm at bios version 1.0.3. How do I go about flashing the bios? By the way, I was successful in installing a 650W PSU and a Radeon 4850 vid card. Together they raised my Windows Experience score...

  • Some computer component is fried, having trouble troubleshooting.

    Hi there. Got an XPS 410 here with an interesting problem. Last Sunday I came to my computer and the power light was a solid amber, as though shut down. But the video card fan was running and the cd drive was active. So I power the computer off, and I'm left with all the same problems. Anytime I...
