Is it possible to upgrade Dell PC 3, GX1 600MBR+ in RAM and from CD ROM to Combo RW. if it is then how  should

If you have an empty slot them you can add another stick of RAM.  Make sure it's the same kind.  You can easily trade out your old CDROM for a CDROM/RW.  Just pull the old one out and replace it with the new one.  You can pick up PC parts really cheap from eBay.

You can use sysinstall > upgrade option, to upgrade using ftp, http or cd-rom. It is not just easy but quite fast also. Always backup data before upgrading system.

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

No there's not a way around it I'm afraid, you'll have to buy more memory. The good news is it'll be cheap for you, probably less than your monthly broadband subscription as you probably have an older system. If you post your RAM specs on here or email me I can tell you what you need and how to install it into your system

according to Dell specs on it, it could have either of these 2, depending on how is was ordered\n32 MB DDR ATi® MobilityTM RADEON® 9000 4X AGP\n64 MB DDR ATi® MobilityTM RADEONTM 9000 4X AGP

I don't know what that guys talking about cd+rw... doesn't exsist, i'm sure he's thinking of dvd + or - R/r. CD's are a bit simpler. no need for format wars.\n\nThat said make sure it is fact a CD-r/w drive that you posess. the front of the drive should have a logo that says "compact disc ReWritable" \n\nif it is in fact a CD-rw drive you may have to upgrade the firmware or driver. \n\ndepending on your operating system there are different ways to get to the device manager. in XP its start>Control panel>performance>system>hardware tab> device manager. \nin the device manager you should see\na + next to dvd/cd rom drives. expand to see your cd-rw manufacturer and model. Type this in to a browser with the word firmware. I'm sure tons of sites will come up with detailed instructions on how to upgrade you firmware.\nif you are using windows 2000, 98 or ME you may also need to find a new driver. also detailed info on the net. sorry i cant give you an exact web address becuase i do not know your OS or cd-rw model. just do a google search. \nafter doing this get roxio or nero. they are the most prominent and user friendly burning programs.\ngood luck.

You're going to have to open it up to put the new RAM inside so why not?\n\nAnyhow your computer supports DDR PC3200 or PC2700 with a max of 1GB per stick. Your computer supports 2GB ram total.

Try the site below, or the Dell website might have it. An external hard drive might be a good idea, as you just plug it into a USB port and use it. It can be transferred between computers too. Upgrading the RAM would help too. Today's computer require at least 512 MB to run average programs.

After looking up your model, it only supports a MAX of 160MB of RAM.  That's not enough to run Windows 2000 or XP and for it be relatively usable.  In addition, you will need several GB of free space to install.  I recommend you look into a new laptop, even Dell has ones that are only a couple of hundred dollars that are better and will cost the same as the upgrades you would have to consider on your current model.

For your needs look for loadsa memory and lots of hard drives.\nLook at the DELL website, I dont use a dell, I dont work for dell I only suggest them because some of their machines are cheap and would do what you want.\nAs much RAM as you can afford.\nAs much Hard drive space as you can afford.\nIf you think about it, machines 5 years ago did what you want to do so the latest CPU is not that important.

should be able to. if they're both Dells, that is. and if Dell hasn't changed their hard drive/hard drive bay since whenever 4GB drives were actually manufactured. you should call their Customer Service to be sure. but i don't see why not.

You can always make G-card upgrades, most most likey your computer uses PCI but check the manual.

Unfortunately, the Dimension 3000 does not have an AGP or PCIe graphics expansion slot.  You can however get a PCI graphics card but I don't know if that will be enough to run the game.  (This is why you should stay away from the bottom end Dell line).  You also only have four choices in this area, a FX5200, FX5500, Radeon 9200 or 9250 and none of them are particularly powerful. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048+1069609642+1069109630&Subcategory=48&description=&srchInDesc=&minPrice=&maxPrice=  They're all about the same price and I can't recommend one over the other because as I said, they aren't particularly powerful.\n\nIf you want something better you're going to have to get a new motherboard that supports AGP or PCIe.

upgrading the ram doesn't speed up your internet connection. with dial-up you stuck on the lousy 56kbps (and mostly it's even lower). upgrading to dsl or cable is costly but far more effective.\n\nif you want to upgrade the memory to 1GB you have to get 2x512MB DDR2 PC3200 non-ECC unbuffered RAM, due to the dual channel support (one single 1GB stick would not do it). i think it's still worth to do that, because the Pentium M735 is not that old.

definitely get more RAM - at least 1gb, and 2gb if you can. \n\nalso, a 250gb hard drive would be useful, and quite cheap.\n\nperhaps a new graphics card, 256mb....\n\nor get a mobo that supports pci-express and sata hard drive, with 3.4ghz P4...

Yes it is COMPLETELY possible. I am writing to you on a Dell Dimension 8300 running both Windows XP and Macintosh OS X V. 10.4.5. All you have to do is get a copy of a patched verison of the Install DVD for OSX on Intel. I have multiple copies of it. It is very easy to do all you do is boot up from the cd, then use the disk utility to format a partition on your HD or the whole HD and use that. I can send an easy guide if you'd like.

It's not hard to upgrade your PC; I'll try to type you through this here.\n\n1) Minimum Requirements for Windows XP:\n\n233MHz Processor\n\n64MB Memory\n\n650MB HDD space\n\nI'd recommend at least 128MB of memory or it will be very slow.\n\nIf you meet these requirements, go to the next step.\n\n2) Find an OEM disc of Windows XP Home (you don't need professional if your not a client of a server).\n\nBuy the OEM (not retail) disc at any online computer store.  Do a Google search for it.  It will be half the cost of a retail version (XP Home is usually $90).\n\n3) Most computers are set to boot from CD first.  You stick in the XP CD and when it says "Press a key to boot from CD" do so.\n\nIt will load some necessary files with a blue-screen background.  Then you will come to a part to setup the installation.\n\nPress enter to install Windows.\n\nPress F8 to accept license agreement.\n\nFind the partition that has your old OS.\n\nPress D to delete it.\n\nThen press enter to confirm.\n\nThen press L to confirm.\n\nYou'll be back at the partition screen.\n\nNow press enter to format that partition you just erased.\n\nPick "format as NTFS" and don't choose quick.\n\nSetup will format this.  This may take an hour.\n\nThen it'll automatically start installing Windows.\n\nAfter another half-an-hour it'll restart your computer.\n\nDon't press a key to boot from CD like before; let it load from the HDD.\n\nThen Windows will give you the graphical install screen.\n\nIt'll do everything itself besides a few questions it'll ask.\n\nAfter about 39 minutes, it'll be done and you'll be ready to use Windows XP.\n\nMake sure you have the drivers for any necessary hardware on CD or disc before you do this.  Otherwise you might be stuck with a modem or NIC (network card) that won't work and you won't be able to connect to the Internet to get the driver.\n\nAfter writing this, I realize it may be a little difficult for someone who has never done it.  I say give it a go yourself.  If it doesn't work, you can always have someone else do it for you.\n\nRemember to back up your data files too (like My Documents) on CD as these will be erased with the install.  Also note that all programs will be erased but these cannot be backed up.  Also, if Microsoft Office came with your computer but you don't have the CD for it, you won't be able to reinstall it as Office does not come with Windows XP.
