Why not the 6800 series?

If his price range sits in 150, the 6600GT and 512 RAM more will hit the range better.

Yep, I think the 6600GT and some RAM would be good.

Well, the way he said it maid it seem like he said that he could spend 150 on a gpu..He said a "moderatly priced card" Then i said 200 he said no more around 150...I dont know I thought he was spending 150 on the gpu..

Hmm seems like a nice comp the only thing I would upgrade would be the graphics card and MAYBE the processor and 512 is ok maybe you can upgrade to like a gig, any ways yea it should be fine to upgrade i mean its a computer a desktop Right? yea you should be able to upgrade it

i did have a system like that, but sent it back a year ago, because...they said that you needed 3ghz or higher for hyper threading..and that i needed a certain speed of ram...so they just sent me a new dimension 5100, and i love it...oh and by the way..the dell tech told me this when i called them....even though i hate their support..lol

Remember, its a DELL. If you buy a new motherboard, you will have to purchase a new case, as the DELL cases and motherboards and specially made for each other, its not standard.

If you buy a new motherboard, get one with a pci-e slot, and get the 7800GT or GTX - fantastic cards!

Yes a jump from 512mb RAM to 1GB RAM is a nice jump, you will notice the difference.

But with DELL's, if you order them with 512MB RAM, if comes as 2x256, in most of them anyway
