Bought it for my daddy. He was surprised by the price but after testing his machine........

Hi my friend is thinking of getting a dell inspire 6000. Asking on behalf of him.

I'm wondering are the following upgrades worth it?

$103 to upgrade from a 64mb x300 to x300 128mb. intending to use this laptop to do some light hl2 gaming
(i cannot find anybody with a 64mb x300 with google so i can't compare performances at all)

$130 to increase from 60gb 4200rpm to 60gb 7200rpm?

$170 to increase from 2x256mb to 1x512mb? are ddr2 prices going to drop anytime soon? they are very expensive at the moment

$30 from 6 cell to 9 cell batt? (i'm thinking yes, need a confirmation)

thanks in advance.

Any 510m user here? Was thinking of getting a 510m instead of 6000 cos dun like the widescreen, fonts are too small to be seen. Any comments on 510m?

1) an integrated card 128mb (shared) -> upgrade to X300 for $103 is a good deal!

2) because i'm actually using it in school, i am probably loaning a 2.5" hard disk to satisfy my needs.. i kept the +20GB hdd option out.

3) i'll suggest stick to the 2x256mb at the moment, because ddr-II prices are still very high.. unless you're going to upgrade in the near future.

4) 6 - 9 cells battery upgrade, for sure! but i left this one out too, because i'm gonna use the school's power point most of the time..

to convince you i do really own the 6000:

Regarding the fan at the base of Inspiron 510..

Hi there..

Jus called DELL just now rdg the fan at the base of the mentioned lappy..

i told them that the FAN DID NOT MOVE when the POWER is ON .. the tech person say it's NORMAL as he claimed the Fan ONLY MOVE when the Lappy hit CERTAIN TEMPERATURE, in order to cool the laptop..

IZZIT TRUE?? any feedback?? thanks

Yeps... my latitude's tiny fan doesn't spin until the CPU does some work and actually heats up...


tidus792,

-64MB should be enuf. As with desktop gaming, the classic 64MB ti4200 performs and even beats a 128MB ti4200...


2) $130 to increase from 60gb 4200rpm to 60gb 7200rpm?

-A faster hdd always improves performance...


3) $170 to increase from 2x256mb to 1x512mb? are ddr2 prices going to drop anytime soon? they are very expensive at the moment

-DDR2 still quite ex, is there big price diff between these 2? Try to leave 1 slot free


4) $30 from 6 cell to 9 cell batt? (i'm thinking yes, need a confirmation)

-Yep! that's the reason for getting a portable in the first place...
