I believe the Dell specs say a max of 2GB but it will accept 4GB and it will end up using about 3.3GB of the 4GB.

My mom has an E1705 (pretty much the same model as this one) and the battery is totally dead on it as well.

For Sale: Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 2.93GHz This CPU was pulled from a Dell Precision workstation. It was installed in a system that did not allow overclocking and I didn't overclock it either so it has not been abused. You receive just the bare CPU. I will offer a 30-day warranty on...

I am still looking for Q6700.

Still looking for Q6700. Let me know if you have one.

I'm looking to buy a Core 2 Quad Q6700. Conditions are below. 1) Not interested in any other Quad Cores - my purpose requires a Q6700 2) CPU should be unlapped 3) OEM or Retail does not matter as long as it works ok and has no assigns of damage or abuse. A heatsink isn't really needed. 4)...

Free bump for you.

I know the feeling. I'm still waiting to hear back from you regarding the pm I sent 2 days ago. Please let me know either way.

The program CoreTemp shold be able to determine the VID from within Windows. Link is below: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/CoreTemp.zip

My work has the screenshot blocked. Any kind sole that can post theVID. Free bump for you nevertheless.

To Irishmark, I forgot to ask you about your cooling. Are you able to snap a picture and post it in this thread. If not, then is the heatsink all aluminum (silver color) or does it have heatpipes coming oup through the top?

1.3875v is your default voltage then. If you got back to pages 5 & 6 of this thread you will see instructions (along with a picture of where the VID pins are located) on how to go from 1.3875v to various voltages that are higher. Start on page 5, Post# 94 and work your way forward. Those...

It sounds like your CPU is not going to be able to do it at default voltage and maybe not even at all. I having a feeling that the 1.42V you see is probably from CPUz since Prescot's did not have default voltages going above 1.4v. Try downloading RightMark CPU utility and that should give...

See the picture towards the top of this page that shows the underside of the CPU. If you look in the bottom right corner you will see that there is conductive paint covering two of the CPU pins. If you look closely you will see that there is a small piece of tape covering the top pin. Here is...

I've used quite a bit of SpuerTalent memory and haven't had any problems with it. You may want to read throught hat thread - the consensus seems to me that it is pretty good quality.

Are you sure that you really need ECC memory? If not, then you can get get 8GB for about $140 plus shipping (plus tax if you're in CA). http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=40&threadid=2116041&highlight_key=y&keyword1=4gb

Are you certain that you connected the right pins? Here is a link with pretty good pictures. Also, depending on what you used there may not be a good connection between the pins. http://forums.legitreviews.com/about6375.html

I was wondering as well if it will fit in the XPS 420. Looks like the Accelero will stick up above the top of the video card by several inchhes so it might be a close fit. For the people who don't think it's necessary, please keep in mind that the stock cooler on the 8800GT is very poor and...

It may work and get your CPU running at 3.73GHz. Probably don't even need to worry about boosting the voltage as 3.73GHz shouldn't be that hard. All you have to do is insulate the one pin and run silver paint from the one below it so that it goes over the tape and covers that area of where the...

Tualatin Mod: That is some classic stuff Here's a link to an article that I wrote almost 5 years ago. I read back through it and I don't remember that much about it. Good luck. http://www.overclockers.com/tips965/

Here is my latest overclock in a Precision 390. CPUz incorrectly reads the voltage at 1.53v. I had to increase the voltage from 1.3v to 1.4v. Ran the system for 24 hours in room where ambient temp was 95F and had no Prime95 errors or other problems. The fan was rather loud at that high of a...

Sorry for the delay. Here is a picture of the mod.

Finally figured out the mod using Presler and CedarMill processors. You have to insulate BSEL1 with tape and then make trace from BSEL2 to BSEL1 (the trace will be on top of the tape). The screen shot below is from a Precision 390. Had to boost the voltage up to 1.4v. Also, Prime95 didn't...

Is the E6700 retail box or OEM?

I don't think memory dividers would be the issue.

There never was a P4 with 166 FSB so I don't think Dell would program the BIOS to recognize that BSEL pin combination. You're best bet is to go to 200 FSB and see how it does or if you have no luck then try it with a P4 630 and try it.

I've never heard of anyone trying a pin mod for 166 FSB. I doubt that the motherboard will recognize this since it is not an "official" FSB. Just go ahead and try the mod for 200 FSB. I forget exactly which pin you need to work with but I believe it is connecting one BSEL and insulating...

Did Nvidia or any of their board partners ever come out and say exactly what the problem was with some of the 7900 cards? I'm not talking about speculation about one of the IC chips on the back getting hot or bad Samsung memory....something more definite than this.

Theoretically, your PD 820 could run at 3.73GHz ( 14 x 266 ~ 3733) if you did the mod. In practice though, I have never been able to get a PentiumD to work with the mod in one of these systems due to the extra amount of heat that a dual core chip puts out. You may be able to get the system...

Dude...he was talking about me directly. I am the guy on eBay. Maybe he figured the person he was talking about would never see his comment but all I'm doing is matching his tone.

Looks like you're the a$$...or at least dumba$$ that is. This overclocking trick has been an ongoing thread in this very same forum for over a year now. Here is the secret: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=903623&page=1&pp=20 As I mentioned in the listing, you can find info on the...

It's also possible to overclock a P4 630 3.0GHz to 4.0GHz in the XPS 600. Last time I checked most games were taking much of advantage of dual core so this might end up being faster if gaming is your main purpose. Send me a private message if you need more info.

Still available and another price drop

That motherboard was the original version that came with Dell 8400 and will not support 1066 FSB (it's 925X...not 925XE). Sorry but the compatible part# with 925XE chipset is U7077.
