Dell Dimension 4600 audio - Dell Dimension 4600 PC Desktop

SOURCE: dell 4600 motherboard

That particular Dell uses a power supply with non-standard wiring. The plug is the same size as an ATX plug, but it's wired differently. If you were to replace motherboard & plug in the standard power supply, it would damage the supply, or the motherboard, or both. Also, the front panel plugs (for power & power LED & hard drive indicator) are proprietary as well. Ideally you should replace it with another Dell Dimension 4600 motherboard. I've found replacements for reasonable prices on some of the auction places on the web. I recently replaced a failed motherboard in my Dimension 8300 with one I got from a popular auction site, I think my cost was about $59 plus shipping.

The other option would be to remove the hard drive, video card (if any), and optical drives, and consider a 'barebones' package from various sites such as geeks or newegg.

SOURCE: ethernet driver for dell dimension 4600

Hi stefyboy - Below is a link where you can download your driver. After you get to the page just make sure it says Windows XP as the operating system. Then scroll down and click on the + next to where it says network. You want the intel 10/100 driver. I've included a few a ways to install it. If your kinda new to this the easiest is the download to desktop method and just remember where it unzipped it to, you can always move it to a driver directory where you can keep all your drivers for the future.

SOURCE: I have two dell computers,

even though the memory stick sizes are the same, and the speed, there are other differences between memory types, such as parity/non parity, 2x32, 16x4 etc. more than likely, the speed of the memory sticks are different. the easiest fix for this is put the slower memory sticks in bank0 and bank1 (logical numbering used) and then the faster memory sticks in bank3 and bank4. this will cause the faster memory sticks to run at the speed of the slower memory sticks. If your sticks are parity and non-parity mix, then you will probably not be able to combine them.
