pretty much pertinent info that relates to problems [below]
a] first problem: 4 gig ram. im sure uve read this a million times. ive read the same, but i still havent found a solution: i got 4 gig ram. dell bios recognizes it. vista [home premium] doesnt. why? answers? solutions? i tried upgrading to a 2.2 [bios] read somethin about bio formatting blah blah blah. not caught up yet with contemporary jargon bout wpa somethin yaddi yaddi yadda
b] second problem: video card. i love games. i want my games to look good. had enough credit for a 2G computer. 410 was that. in my ignorant haste and wanton naivete, i bought an additional 8800gtx [remember i got the 7900 already installed on the 410]. i wanna use both if possible, however: 1) ive read SLI is not supported on 410. can someone validate that for me? n if in fact thats true..is there ANY WAY AT ALL TO GET SLI ON IT [even it means the rudimentary makeshift jus buy a whole new motherboard n barebones system if u really want to then itll work..gimme ANYTHING no matter how costly it sounds if theres a will theres a way] 2) second subtopic under this video card mess is the power. 410 comes with 375watt stock of pure unadulterated mediocre horsepower. ive read two rough-n-tumble solutions from some other forums: 2a] y connector? 2b] adapter? please someone elaborate if someone knows what thats about. 3) third subtopic under the video card problem: PSU! dell = proprietary = PSU = good luck i know. what do u think about the thermaltake 250watt [for the video card itself]. would that do the trick? sez on the site 5.25 inch bay itll fit in, so will it fit in the dell 410? any other possible solutions? even if it means runnin it OUTSIDE the case? in all its ATX box fan glory?
