512MB of RAM on a low-end video card = marketing technique used to trick uneducated buyers

Dell sucks... bought a Dimension E510 with a supposed X600 in it... it's actually an X600 with no fan, just a heatsink, and only a 400 core clock and 250 mem clock. I can OC the mem to the usual X600 pro 300, but I can only get the core to 475.
DON'T BUY DELL. That's my tip.

Thats what I always say.

Especially the Intel models e.g. Dimension. There BTX a.k.a currently unupgradable.

And the ram. Its overpriced like hell since you can only buy Dell upgrade.

I think we should make this a Dell help forum as well since there are many Dell USERS out there that need help.

Dont buy anything with 64 bit memory

edit: buy used in fs/ft forums

Stay away from TurboCache and HyperMemory (in general!)
