What Willma said. RAM is a lot cheaper than a processor and yields more noticeable results most of the time. If you're worried about speed, I wouldn't get a 2TB 5900rpms drive. You'll want at least 7200rpms if you're using it for your primary drive. If you're just using that for storage, that's a different story. Your performance will degrade with the slower rotational speed though.

I'd install Windows 7 to see how it is first before you upgrade the processor. Windows 7 is a lot faster than Vista so you could be wasting your money.

 

I've got a computer hardware question for you ladies...

The cooling fan on my computer broke so now I have my desk fan blowing on the inside of the computer( I took off the little side piece). Is it possible to buy just the fan assembly or no? (2006 Dell Computer)

 

I'm guessing it's the one on the case and not the processor bc that chit would have fried already lol.

Is it just a regular looking fan? Typically fans on cases are pretty generic looking and so are the connections. I'm not 100% sure if Dell went proprietary with the fans but if it is, it would be because of the screw locations instead of the connections I'm willing to bet. Fans can be had for cheap so it won't hurt to try it.

 

lol, it should be possible, without seeing it it's hard to say. Sometimes manufacturers put a slight twist to their hardware to make simple tasks like this hard to do.. just take it out and bring it to Best Buy.. they have fans that you can maybe match up.. if not, try radio shack.. if not, get another desk fan for yourself and keep the one on your PC

 

^^ redundant support.. lol

 

If the screws don't line up, double-sided tape that bish

 

You type too slow maaaaan

 

staple gun? liquid nails? gum?


nah, i read slow.. type fast...

 

Asians can't type slow man... even halfers

I stand corrected... staple gun may be your best bet. You can try welding it on too, just be careful not to melt the fan too much.

 

This is the most action this thread has seen since the Z came out.

 

This is a viable option, one which has crossed my mind many times. I'm tired of moving the fan back to my bed when I want to go the sleep.

 

I like action

 

So guys, who are the Saints picking up in the First round tonight?

 

I know you does sugapussy

 

Tebow. 3 years under Brees, and he will be better then Manning.

 

 

I hate Tebow but he and Breese in the same backfield would be the most potent weapon in the NFL

 

 

so if i install windows 7 on my hard drive that is ******* up and it doesn't help out any, would i be able to install it on a new hard drive or is it a one time install type thing. . .?
