Would a Dell Inspiron 3000 (Intel&reg; Celeron G1820 Processor 2.7GHz, Intel HD Graphics) be enough to use this? I'm looking for a cheap, small footprint.

If you are wanting to view the HD homerun on your laptop it should be fine. If you are wanting to use this laptops as a WMC to an external TV it may be sketchy. I use a Lenovo I5 laptop with HD video card on a 55 inch LED and it gets choppy at times.

3.4Ghz that turbos up to 3.9, I believe. Wow, I got a good deal directly from Dell. Cyber Monday, with 8GB ram and 1TB 7200rpm, and Windows 7 professional- $669. Same pc otherwise.

I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that I use it with. I have only used it to run other types of programs, haven't tried any games. Probably would depend on game specs if it would satisfy the requirement.

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.

We have two Inspirons. Both have i5 series processors but you should, of course, check the published specifications.

I would go with what Dell specs specify. Just bought this so in a week or so ill be sure to confirm this for you

actually I bought it to a fellow and don`t know how much of RAM it can handle. Better you try to email somebody from dell or even amazon. you can also try check intel specs for this type of processor. sorry

Yes your Inspiron 3000 with Intel Celeron G1820 is a good choice. It can definitely handle both recording and playback of HD tv shows, Blu-ray movies, etc. Just don't make the Inspiron do a zillion different things all at once while recording or watching TV.

Yes we have Dell Inspiron i15N-3910BK 15-Inch Laptop. 15.6 HD Display, Intel Core i5-3210M Processor (Dual-Core, 2.5GHz, 3MB Cache), 6GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive, Integrated intel HD Graphics

I would think so. It runs fantastic on my Dell 755 with windows 7 Pro, 2 1 TB hard drives and 8 Gig of Ram. The extra 4 gig of ram really made changes to my plans quick.

Unfortunately, no. That Dell uses the AMD chip, which has a completely different interface than the Intel chip.You'll have to find an upgrade through AMD, not Intel. Second, since it's a laptop, you have to be careful about buying parts to upgrade it. I would check with Dell to see if they have any upgrade suggestions, or find a company that can upgrade your laptop for you-

It is as good as any intel I7 laptop. Specifically for gaming, desktop with more powerful video card would be preferable. For anything else I personally like this laptop.

The Dell Inspiron 660 has and 1155 socket on its mother board, so yes this processor will fit inside that desktop. Currently you should have the Intel Core i5-3340 processor3.10GHz (max Turbo speed of 3.3GHz), 6MB Cache in it. If you do I would not upgrade as this is a "QUAD" core processor and not a single core. Unless you overclock this computer, which by your question leads me to know that you don't, this three hundred + dollar dollar processor will not do much if anything for you.

This board comes with an Intel Celeron 1007U processor, which does have integrated Intel HD graphics and HDMI output already onboard, so you do not need to get a graphics card. Of course, the integrated graphics is very basic. It can do simple video playback but cannot do any heavy duty gaming. For that you would need an external graphics card.

You can't fit a graphics card in the case.The graphics card is based on whatever is on the CPU and the best you can get with a 3rd generation i5/i7 is intel's HD4000 graphics. About the only other option would be to get a lower power CPU that had HD2500 graphics on it. Considering the price differences it wouldn't make any sense to go with anything other than a CPU with a HD4000 GPU on it.

Dell Inspiron 14 is a laptop, if I'm not mistaking? If so, then no. I have an old Dell studio and the card was an amazing cheap but for such an old computer. Windows 7 prompted me immediately to install necessary drivers and did s few Java updates as well. A dell studio running elder scrolls online with high graphics like s champ because of this little awesome card! Good luck. If you pc has around 500 watts of power and has a slot for s new graphics card you can bet this will fit!

The current Dell Inspiron 3000 appear to ship with Intel HD Integrated Graphics, so you shouldn't need a separate video card except for high end stuff (which the antique GeForce 7300 LE is not). My recent home-built system has Intel HD 4600 Integrated Graphics, which I've been happy with. It appears that the Inspiron ships with HD 4400 Graphics (if bought with an i3-4130) or HD 4600 Graphics (if bought with an i5-4440 ). [Disclosure: I am an Intel employee.]
