These were well-made machines, I've never encountered an issue with the hinges. Generally speaking I've had good results with Dell's hinges, even newer models.
I used to own a D620... I upgraded the hard drive at the time (2009) from the original 80GB to 500GB and upgraded the original 2GB RAM to 4GB RAM. I used it through my 2 years of college, it held a charge for a full 6 hour day and it was light enough to be carried in my backpack to and from college. I had to upgrade it to Vista because my teacher said everybody had to be running Vista for the programs we were using... although I am sure they would have ran fine with XP. One thing I really liked with the D620 was the ample amount of USB ports.
The D820 and D620 the front side bus speed of the CPU is 667mhz, and you can install 4gb of memory. The D630 and D830 you can install 8gb of memory, and the FSB is 800mhz. Those are the only differences i know of.
@@connorm955 Per Dell, the latest version supports only 4. I've heard cases where people can get more to work, but I see no reason to mess with a configuration that could be flaky. Certainly not at the risk of a BIOS update.
Nice work on the Upgrades, I enjoyed the video.
Thanks.
I love those old 180° hinges , they are far better than the junk that began 2007 & last until today (2022)

This was a great model. I had a D630 in high school and found a lot of the same things.
Me too. I'm an IT guy (Sort of) but my d620 is being repaired by a different IT guy, which he'll hopefully returning soon.
@rotatingcat1957 doing good, better than earlier those times.
Good video on the memory and hard drive upgrade of this laptop computer I enjoy the video bro

Find something constructive to do with your time.

If I recall, the D630 had a fingerprint reader, or at least the option for one.
@@tall_dude1233 Yep
The D630 only supports up to 4.
@@JordanU Update the BIOS. Mine has 6

The Dell latitude D520 also claims to have 8mb of graphics memory, but in Windows its actually has 224mb. The case with this laptop is similar.
Thanks for letting me know.
"Vista compatible" was just enough for starter when the machine shipped from the factory. Hence... backlash when in launched
Vista came out before the hardware was ready. There was very little wrong with the system as far as I'm concerned.
What is the type for SSD ? Sata I o II o III?
I don't understand what you're asking.
I like it
