Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. Please try again later. Brian Irvine 5.0 out of 5 stars It was simple back then. But things have changed a lot, and I was a bit rusty, so I was pretty apprehensive about making this replacement myself. So I watched a Youtube video of how to change out the motherboard on the XPS410. It helped a lot. Then I took a lot of pictures as I disassembled my computer. I was very paranoid about changing out the processor, but just followed instructions that came with the silver conductor paste. Put everything back together and fired her up. Started right up like nothing had changed. A bit nerve wracking, but ultimately a very satisfying experience.Worked PERFECTLY. Saved a dog load of money on a brand new computer, by swapping my old motherboard, and putting in this new.It's been about 6 months and they haven't had any motherboard-related issues since then. Recommended.I don't have to be worried if I buy from Amazon. The quality and price are perfect!!!It wouldn't boot before, but now it's like nothing happened.The only thing wrong was that the sound did not work. Here are the specifications of the XPS 410 we received for review: It is undoubtedly manufactured by one of the tier 1 motherboard companies, but it is definitely an original design and layout and not a toned down version of one of the public products. Depending on your perspective, this can be good or bad. For Dell, it means they can strip out all of the stuff that they don't want you to have, like overclocking features and advanced BIOS options. (Overclocking is supported on the Dell XPS 700, we understand, but not on other models.) For the computer enthusiasts, such omissions would be the death knell, but most other people will be more than happy with what they receive. As we like to do with our system reviews, we priced out a similar home built system for reference to see how Dell's assembly and test costs compare to a DIY setup. Some areas are not directly comparable, but we're looking at ballpark estimates. The 7900 GTX that Dell includes is slightly different from your garden-variety GTX card, however, as it includes an extension at the end of the PCB that helps hold the card in place. Some might be concerned that the 375W PSU may prove insufficient for driving a GX2. NVIDIA recommends 425-450W for the GX2, but depending on PSU quality you may be able to get by with less. Our power draw results indicate that there should be more than enough power available for a GX2, as previous testing has shown that a GX2 card doesn't consume substantially more power than a 7900 GTX due to the difference in clock speeds. Moving on to the CPU, we don't have the base cost Dell uses for the E6300 as that's included in the total price of the system, but the upgrade prices to the other Core 2 Duo processors are all competitive with market prices, with the exception of the top-end E6700. E6400 is probably the best balance of price and performance if you're willing to go with a smaller L2 cache and lower clock speed, but keep in mind that there are no options to overclock for better performance with Dell. It's not great either, considering many of the configuration choices are limited. If you're after enthusiast-level performance from Dell, you will need to move up to the XPS 700.First, expansion options are somewhat limited. While you do get three usable PCI slots, the X1 PCI-E slot can be blocked if you opt for the highest end GPUs. That leaves you with the single X4 PCI-E slot just below the GPU, which might be a tight fit for any expansion cards destined for the X4 slot. Higher-quality audio consumes another PCI slot, and a TV tuner uses up the last slot. If you need a modem, you'll have to give up one of the above three devices as there are simply no more PCI slots available. As we will see in a moment, Dell seems to have limited expansion options in favor of the chassis design, which is a reasonable decision. There are still other concerns. You can't for example select DDR2-800 memory, which would improve performance a bit. The motherboard is supposed to support DDR2-800 RAM, so it would be nice to see DDR2-800 added as an upgrade option to the online configurator. You will still only get conservative timings, however, regardless of which type of RAM you use. We'll discuss the display more in a separate review. However, the LCD can easily be purchased from Dell separately, and at times (Dell LCD special offers occur frequently) it is actually cheaper to do so.We also received a set of 2.1 speakers, though these are no longer listed in the configurator and you will need to go with either 5.1 speakers, cheap monitor speakers, or just leave the speakers out and buy something on your own. The keyboard and mouse are both USB devices, and the keyboard has two USB ports on the back and can serve as a mini USB hub. There are other good points about the system design, which we will cover throughout the rest of this review. The bottom line is that the price is okay, but don't expect to walk away with an amazing bargain. A large portion of the price goes towards providing improved customer service, however, and we will provide an evaluation of the XPS support shortly. It seems like the 9200 can be a little cheaper, but they seem identical. Also note that you do not get a higher level of technical support with the Dell dimension 9200 I think (though that might be wrong, as the 9200 is a business setup). Just another suggestion, anyway.;) While a display may be twice as accurate, for everything but professional use that probably won't matter much.In pounds it's a good deal cheaper though according to their review, which is partly why they scored it so well.Naturally TrustedReviews didn't score the 2407WFP half as well, so I'm trying to figure out which is indeed better for gaming purposes in response timings and such.;) I'd be surprised if the BenQ is substantially better, but if you can find it for less money it's certainly worth considering.I would not feel comfortable sitting infront of any monitor that squealed!Thanks again! A lot of motherboards do it as well in my experience, but the pitch and volume of the noise from this particular LCD was louder than most others that I've encountered. Looks like that still isn't a perfected system:) Hopefully that's the last one.:-) The last week and a half has taken an unexpectedly large toll.Sign up now. Ask a question and give support.

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Also, i was thinking of Buying a Intel Core 2 Quad core Processor for it. As long as both are LGA 775 they should be compatible correct? He has a XPS not a dimension. Anyway to tell what kind of PCI ports it has go to dells site and find the correct manual for it and it should say what kind of ports it has.I fixed the link.Thanks So you will not be able to put a quad core into it. Ok you have three PCI, a PCI express x1, a PCI express x4, and a PCI express x16. The x16 is the slot you want for gaming. Anyways as we know big name companys like Dell are a pain when it comes to updating BIOS's and other hardware because they never tell you why they did it, or what they did. So to make a long story short I got the recent log update from someone I know at dell through my work. This was even confimed on dell forums by someone else a few days later.GL FYI Yes, this is confirmed Q6600 2.4 QC running in my XPS410 I almost didnt beleive the person that gave me the info.hahaha Tried to install cpu befroe bios update and it was not recognized. Did some serious research and learned to and updated BIOS and it recognized. Is this core temps or chassis environment, or??? I have PC Wizard 2008 running to watch cpu temps and have variables up to around 43C deg and 44C deg. Q: Anyone willing to give a little input as to what I am reading and what is happening.
