Now I simply HAVE to try my ancient Gigabyte GA-8SGXL / P4-2.8 GHz / 1 GB RAM / 20 GB HDD combo I still have lying somewhere. The Win7->Win10 upgrade path MIGHT work.

My entry is an HP T520 Thin Client with the following specs: Processor: AMD GX-212JC dual-core SOC APU met AMD Radeon HD Graphics (1,2 GHz) RAM: 4 GB, DDR3L Flash Memory: 32 GB (SSD) Audio Output: Sound card, stereo Uitgang monitor: 1x VGA, 2x Displayport Drives an ancient 55" LG industrial...

I might be mistaken but I don't see anything in PayPal Purchase Protection that would cover warranty. <quote> "If you don't receive the item that you ordered, or it shows up significantly different from its description, you may qualify for Purchase Protection." </quote> So if the item you...

Maybe I'm merely stoopid, but the first question that comes into mind: if this is a new system, why not let the vendor you bought it from handle your warranty issues?

Factory warranty would be best if you decide to spend a couple hundred bucks on a 2"x2" piece of silica and metal. In the Netherlands this particular CPU costs upwards 849 Euro -> about 900 portraits of George Washington. So if I would be considering buying this CPU, I would do my damnedest best...

Hi and thanks for your answer. However, this is something I can't try. When booting in the 4x2GB configuration, the mainboard immediately goes into an endless BSOD reboot loop so there is simply no chance of evoking PowerShell. When running this command against one pair in the lower two memory...

Hi all, This has been bugging me for quite some time and can't find any logical - or even illogical - explanation. So I picked up an ancient Dell Inspiron 546 at a thrift store with a nice AMD Phenom X4 Quad Core CPU incl a working fan as well, and 4x1 GB PC2-800 RAM. PS attached, board boots...

Hi, I am looking for the following RAM for my Dell Precision workstation: 6x 8GB Kingston KTD-PE313K3/24G PC3-10666 (DDR3-1333) ECC REG In total 48GB. Cheapest I saw on Ebay was 100$. I've got max 70$ to spend including postal charges to the Netherlands. Offers via PM please. Thanks in advance!

Update on the build. The config is the following: INTEL XEON 6 CORE X5670 12M CACHE - 2.93 GHZ - SLBV7 - 25 USD ionz Alseye 120 mm AiO Water Cooling FRGB System - 50 USD 2x HP Invent D33373 300 GB 15K SAS (old cupboard reserve) 6x2GB stock RAM at this point Putting it together as I'm writing...

Once again, many thanks for the load of useful info you have provided. At first using 12GB RAM didn't make sense - why not 8 or 16? What can I say, I'm used to powers of 2. I never knew there existed such a thing als triple-channel RAM... I have found a sixpack of Kingston KTD-PE313K3/24G...

Thanks for your reply. Seems that I will have to check the exact M/B rev # and also the BIOS version in order to see which CPU upgrades are possible. The X5670 looks a sweet little option. It would add only 15 W extra TDP which the stock PSU would easily handle, but add some serious performance...

Yeah, thanks, I have already seen this. Two minutes later I read successful CPU swap stories on the 56xx series... so the question is what to believe?

Hiya all, Got the deal of the century from work - a free Dell Precision T3500 workstation running a quad-core Intel Xeon E5520, 12GB RAM and an Nvidia Quadro FX580 and 2x 1 TB SATA HDD. Yay, lucky me! Now I'm looking into swapping the quad-core Xeon with a hexa-core Xeon without spending extra...

Done, thanks for the heads up.
