  • I have a Dimension 5100 and im thinking of putting a different cpu cooler (heatsink and fan combo) Any Recomendations if any?

  • @31pockets can i do this on a dell dimension 5100 ??

  • How can I verify if my dimension 5150 meets the requirements(motherboard, processor and bios) stated in the description?

  • why the heck do people even buy dells, my PC cost under $600 2Gb ram, 3.0Ghz Dual core,Nvidia Ge-Force 7025. now these may suck, but Ive seen many dells, with even worse specs with nearly double the price. they all screw up, the rate of blue screens of death on windows is sad. i haven't seen one stable dell, some better than my specs, but none with good stability. if your going to buy a dell, you'd want to upgrade it, upgrade all the mother board's and hard rives etc. i learn from experience. :D
