It says 6GB installed memory and that's it... I'm running a quad 2.4 (Q6600). Running Esignal and a few other programs right now and I'm monitoring the task manager and I haven't seen my memory get higher than the 3.3GB zone or so, so maybe I don't need to really do anything. It...

For some reason this was the only option that came up on the Corsair site when I searched for the T3400... http://www.corsair.com/us/cm2x1024-6400.html And this is what they had stated regarding the workstation if that helps/makes a difference in anyway... Maximum Memory » 8192 MB...

What is SIW? Checking the Corsair site now.. Windows update history showed almost all successful updates, outside of one or two that failed a few months ago.. And the 5300's were the original ones installed. I added the 6400's thereafter.

These are the sticks that the Crucial RAM scanner was recommending for me fwiw... http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=C51E7305A5CA7304

I was opening my case quite a bit a few months back when I was constantly changing out video cards to find a 6-monitor configuration that would work, but I haven't been in there in quite a while, so that's some useful advice. So having a 2 x 4GB + 2 x 2GB configuration is not ideal (even if...

When you say same brand and model does that mean the exact same chips or could I accomplish that by getting the same model and speed but bigger GB ones? I currently have 2 x 2GB but if I make an upgrade I would like to get 2 x 4GB...

Thank you very much for the reply. I didn't do any software updates to my system that I know of. The only potential change that I made was that my computer unexpectedly shut down and restarted in the middle of the night last night (has happened a few times in the past, but not in a while, so...

Hello all, Just have a few quick questions regarding a RAM upgrade for my Dell Workstation... I'm currently running 6-monitors and multiple programs on 6 GB of RAM (1GB x 2 of DDR PC2-5300 and 2GB x 2 of DDR PC2-6400), and while my computer has generally been running pretty smooth, my...

Thanks again for your help Winston.. Really appreciate it. I guess I didn't think of the obvious in calling Nvidia, so I'll use that as a last resort if I can't find something that works online. Looking forward to getting this installed and running (still waiting for the Quad DVI adapter...

Hello all, Just a quick question... I just received an Nvidia NVS 420 quad card, but it came with a smaller metal bracket for a smaller computer and so the only way I can use it in my current workstation is if I detach the bracket and install the card without any form of stabilization, so...

Hmmm... Thinking outside the box.... I like it. This is an avenue that I wouldn't have even known about because I am not tech savvy at all, so I appreciate the insight very much. To answer your question, my monitors are all 1980 x 1020. I would love to upgrade my entire system if...

Thanks for the responses.... appreciate it very much... I'm trying to have a 6 monitor set-up (and eventually maybe 8) but I only have two full PCIx16 slots and I don't know of a good dual DVI nvidia card that can run on PCI only so I need to have a quad card in one of those main PCIx16 slots...

How can I check that to ensure I have what I need? I just ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/upgrade-advisor) and it stated that I need to do a full custom installation of Windows 7, but it didn't stat that there was any problems in doing...

I'm planning on doing a fresh install (both of those options were full versions), but I just don't understand the difference between the branded and otherwise, and there is a relatively big price difference between the two, percentage-wise.

Hello all, I'm looking to upgrade to Win7-64 and I'm planning on doing so through this online discount retailer with these two options.. http://www.discountmountainsoftware.com/miwi7prfuveo1.html or http://www.discountmountainsoftware.com/miwi7prfuveo6.html But I don't understand...

These are my expansion slots... 2 PCI-e x16 graphics slots 1 PCI-e x8 slot wired as x4 3 PCI 32bit/33MHz slot with support for 5v cards

This is my current motherboard... http://www.discountelectronics.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3657 Not sure how to find out more specs on it, but I'm just running the stock Dell T3400 motherboard... My current plan is to upgrade to Win7-64 and get the NVS 420 quad card, that way I...

Hello all, I'm pondering a few potential hardware upgrades to my system in order to getting running more efficiently and one of the things I ultimately need to do is get a new video card... I'm currently running 1 Nvidia NVS 290, 1 Nvidia FX 570, and 1 ATI Firemv 2400... The ATI is not...

When should I run the system log? When it begins to act slowly and starts to begin the process of eventually forcing a restart? Or directly after a restart when it's running at its best? Or both? Not entirely sure what I'm looking for here.... Have never looked at the system log before...

How would I know if my power supply is the issue? I'm not entirely sure what I'm running right now. Whatever came with the computer I suppose... I have made no upgrades there that I know of otherwise.
