Okay I gonna try to use words I understand!! Total newb here. Trying to get my old Dell to run better for the kids (Roblox!!). So here's where I am. Dell 560s, Windows 7. P4 Dual-Core E5500 @ 2.8. AMD Radeon R7 240 VC , 6 GB of Nanya PC3-10700 (667MHz)-According to CPU-Z. MB is a Dell 0K83V0. I added the VC and swapped out the RAM from 2GB and attempted to get 8 GB total.. I matched the speed, class, voltage, etc. from the previous RAM that was in there. I have 4 matching sticks of 2 GB, but computer will not boot with all 4 sticks. Each slot can only handle 2 GB. Will only work in first 3 DIMM's. My 4th slot seems FUBAR. Nothing will recognize in the 4th slot (used CPU-Z to confirm). I have the RAM in the correct slots with the MB I have according to the specs from Dell . So, at this point I am conceding the other 2 GB.
Here's the issue. Ive been tracking what little progress I have made using userbenchmark scans. It says my RAM is running poorly and to make sure XMP is enabled. I got into the BIOS but could not find anything to enable. Is it that generic and not an option? Obviously I dont need the best or fastest, but what I do have I want it to run the way it should. Just looking for opinions at this point or suggestions. Thanks!!
