ubuntu works in dell inspiron 9400 ?
470902
To my knowledge, not too much works on a Dell of any kind for very long.  The Dimension 2400 and 3000 series can't seem to keep their low-wattage, power supplies from frying long enough to install much of anything.  Usually a few weeks and they are in the shop for a fix AGAIN.  (Thank Heavens for warranties, eh?) I can't say that the Inspirion line does this as well, as I have no experience with that product line, of which I can recall. My best advice as a PC TECH of 7+ years is this: IF You have a DELL of ANY KIND, upgrade the power supply to something in the Greater than 450w range to be safe.  350w minimal.  Thank You.\nQuestion comments: \n\nYahoo! ID: digitalmythology\ne-mail:    digitalmythology@yahoo.com

Is it a Dell? If so that could be the problem.

in most cases it's already integrated, but not in all. anyway, you have to read the specifications.\nmanufacturers like Dell offer a configuration by yourself where you can add a wireless card for pretty cheap, whereby other manufacturers only have a wide variety of laptop models with or without an integrated card. in this case it's up to you to choose the right model.

Neither. Get a Dell Inspiron.

With a crowbar and a BFH:D Go to www.dell.com/support and search for the manual for the 4600 - one of them will show you how to do it. They can be a PAIN to get open.

You problem is due to wrong driver, cause Dell have their chipset, it require their driver for the right model, so it is not unusual to install the wrong one. \nAnother thing is may be you got a more powerful video card on the Dell, the onboard one is disabled, so even if you install the right dell driver, it cant help. \nIf your case is of the latter, you need to get more info from reading the print on the card, search for the right driver to install then you will be ok.

Ist try just installing the 5200,,and see if the 'puter will recognize>install it.\n\nIt "SHOULD" do it all automatically,,,plug&play.\n\nIf it doesn't and you need to disable the onboard graphics,,,\n\nOn Dells you tap the F2 Key or the  DELETE key,,right after you start the computer and hear the 1st beep.\n\nOn a Dimension,,I think it's Delete,,,,most are F2.\nTry again if one doesnt work,,use the other.\n\nOk,,that bring you to the DOS based Bios Setup Screen.\n\nYou use the Arrows on the Keyboard to get around instead of the mouse.\nThe Up/Down/Left/Right buttons.\nAnd use ENTER instead of clicking the mouse.\n\nYou'll have a few menu selections,,,,,(Sorry my mind is Blank,,,I can't say exactly Which/Where the Graphics settings are,,,sheesh me :)\n\nBut it's Easy to find,,and very obvious.\n\nGo to one menu,,hit ENTER key,,,and look around for it.\n\nWhen you find it,,,use the arrow keys to highlight the selection,,,,then ENTER to open it,\nswitch the graphics OFF,,,,and hit enter again to accept that.\n\nYou will have to hit a certain key to Save the Changes and Exit,,,usually F10.\nBut it will TELL You somewhere on the screen which exact key to Save & Exit\n\nLots easier to do than to explain,,lol\n\nYou'll have no probs,,,,and PROBALY the PC will accpet the FX5200 without having to do anything.\n\nMost modern PC will auto-cancel the Onboard Graphics when nothing is connected to their output..\n\nSo basically,,,by connecting your Monitor to the NEW card,,,you have already disable the onboards video.\n\nWindows will install IT's native  NVIDIA Drivers,,\nbut you'll probably want to install latest drivers fron Nvidia site,,or Card MFGR's site.\n\nIf You have an INSTALL CD,,,,chances are it's Drivers are Better than Windows'....\nBut they are probably not the latest drivers\n\nHope that helps,,,,\nYou should enjoy that new card compared to Onboard,,,it's a big boost in graphics performance

Well it didn't exactly "rescue" me from troubles, but... I'll tell you my story.\nI have a Dell Inspiron notebook. All of a sudden, my hard disk purred and crashed! (I had WinXP Pro in the hard disk)\nOh great! what am I gonna do? I dont have any money to buy a new hard disk, and my dad is gonna kill me if he gets to know about this.\nI got an idea! I whipped out all the free DVDs I got with magazines and found one that had a GamesKnoppix ISO file. Took that DVD to a studio, and got the ISO burned to a CD-R.\nCame home, put in the CD, set the BIOS to boot from it, and voila! Linux-on-CD!\nI have a 64MB flash drive, so I made that a "mini-hard-disk" for my Live CD, so that I can store the settings and retrieve them the next time I boot Linux. I just need to enter a small instruction, and the OS automatically retrieves the settings stored there and applies them.\nLife's good with the Linux. I'm able to browse with Mozilla Firefox, chat with Gaim, edit HTML stuff with KWrite (it's so much better than Windows Notepad) and have fun checking out Linux and playing with Terminal. It's cool!\n\nBut I still miss Windows XP :((\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

You have this listed under laptop, notebooks...\n\nAll you have to do is install more RAM... I assume this is what you are looking to do.  Go to Crucial Technologies... I wouldn't buy from there though, just use the system scan, they will tell you what you already have, and what is available to add.  Then either go to Tiger Direct or Comp USA.. and get some.  I just slapped some pny in mine, and it's working so much better!  Make sure you let them know it's for a laptop or notebook as well, as they are differant

Look at the Dell Inspiron E1705 for $879.00.  \n\nUse E-Value Code: 6F914-DNCCGX1.  Good luck!

yea you just need to download the correct driver from the companies website. Be sure to get the driver that corelates with your particular camer model.

Mostly, u have 2 check the type of ram supported by both computers. Most recent compiters support DDRII RAM Technology which supports DDR one RAMs. But if the old memory is SDRAM, it might not be suppoted by the newer laptop. A DDR one RAM will mostly be supported by new ACERs and DELLs.\n\nNext time, if u need help through such an open community, where no one knows any thing bout ur laptop, better specify the laptop model number, or mention the main features such as the RAM type and size.
