Dell Optiplex 745 Memory and Video Card Installation

- How to install memory and a video card to a Dell Optiplex 745 desktop computer. I install a EVGA GeForce 210 video card and 8GB of memory to a Dell Optiplex 745. Adding 4 2GB memory cards is a waste of money since Windows XP can not utilize all that memory. The 32 bit operating system can only utilize around 3GB of RAM.

This thing can still hold up for daily computing in 2020 if you upgrade the cpu to an intel core 2 quad core, GT 1030 graphics card, 8GB ram, an SSD and windows 10 64bit and you're set.
You only have 3GB of memory because it's a 32bit system. A 64bit system is able to address more than that.
+6toeNL Oh I'm sorry. Further in the video you addressed this issue yourself :). Thanks for the video.
+6toeNL I forgot I came across the same issue with my T500 laptop. I get that pop-up that reminds me I can have a free upgrade to windows 10 so I might just click on it so I can use all the memory on my laptop but I'm not sure what people think about windows 10 yet.
+eTechTom I recently upgraded my mothers laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 10. She's not good with computers, but said that it was a huge improvement over Windows 8. Depending on you system specs I'd say you won't do any harm upgrading your system.
if you run 32 bit OS and you will accept upgrade, it will do a upgrade to 32bit Windows 10 so it will still use only 3GB RAM.
the old windows xp sounds will be missed
How prices have come down! I upgraded my 745 to 8 GB RAM for $15.50 and free shipping.
second plate is for populating another position with VGA connector. that aren't two versions of backplate.
Dual boot with 64 bit Linux and use all the ram's capacity when necessary. Free solution, still keeps Microsoft compatibility.
good job and great camera close ups.
To avoid the glitch, always read the manual, the motherboard manual and check the limits of the OS you are going to use or upgrade to..
thanks, i needed to know if the 745 had a pci express....
It has PCI-e 16X. Here are the specs www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_745techspecs.pdf. I found this information about possible video cards in this forum. www.dell.com/community/Desktops-General/Optiplex-745-Graphics-Card/td-p/4467977. The following are Dell validated Low Profile PCI-e 16X video cards for this chassis -
XX347 ATI Radeon HD2400 Pro, 256MB, DVI-I, TV Out
YP477 ATI Radeon HD2400 Pro, 256MB, DVI-I, TV Out
CP309 ATI Radeon HD2400 XT, 256MB, DMS-59, TV Out
XX355 ATI Radeon HD2400 XT, 256MB, DMS-59, TV Out
@@tmc200527 it can handle stronger cards than those. I had an AMD Radeon HD 7570 1GB DDR5 in mine. It can even handle an Nvidia GT 1030 2GB DDR5.
i picked up one of these, but its the smallest one, physical size wise, with 2gb of ram and xp pro on it, might go get myself the power adapter for it as the thrift store didn't have it
I don't know why, but I died when u said u found that in the trash LOL
I think if you don't have 64 bit xp pro it's max memory is 3
Qué otra tarjeta de video soporta?? Y la que instalo tiene soporte para 2 monitores?
Just get windows 10 / 7
Hay man, from the Dominican Republic. ¿Do you still have the video card working properly?
Yes, It's still working. No power supply issues so far.
It's Really Very Nice Video Sir I Like It So Much
Bro i have also dell optiplex 745 tower so i want to install graphics card in my pc so plz tell me EVGA geforce 210 is support my pc i have 6gb ram ddr2
Yes.
Can you even get a copy of Windows XP 64 bit anymore? Where?
You can get them on ebay but you would have to be certain it is new retail or the license has been deactivated. I'm not even sure if there still is an activation process. There are probably plenty of hacks out there to get xp installed.
What are the max upgrading the optiplex 745 can handle?
You mean it can stop working at any moment?
what kind of screw driver is that please
whait whait you use windows xp i am using windows 10 pro on this pc optiplex 745

Hey do you know if a 755 SFF will be upgradable to 8GB RAM? I just want to go 2x2 for now.
Yes, it works fine with 4x2gb modules.
bro can i upgrade dell optiplex 745 tower it is come with core 2 due e4600 pros

I've got a DELL 755, 64 bit Win 7. I recently put 4 identical 2GB RAM sticks in, but Windows only reports 4GB.
CPUID-CPU-Z reports the correct 8GB, 2GB in each slot with dual channels.
Anyone got any idea why Win 7 cannot see the other 4GB???
Install Windows 7 64 bit...
what you say I have windows 10 on this pc whith out updrad
i see the cpu coming out from under that black plastic thing but i do not see a cooler
+stuffyou shoulddo At first I thought the one fan on the hard drive was also pulling air across the CPU heatsink but there is another fan in the front that draws air into the chassis too
what slot in the computer am I supposed to put in?
Can anyone recommend a gpu for games that run 98 and 95 on xp 64bit.
My dell optiplex 755 has 1 gb ram ddr2 can I install one more 2gb ram ddr2 in my pc and make it 3 gb and another question is its power supply is 235 w can I install amd radeon 512 mb it will not harm my pc reply me soon
Yes you can I have the same graphics card
My specs:
Dell Optelix 745
Windows 10 pro
4GB ram
500gb HDD
512mb amd readon graphics card.
Intel Pentium d 64bit processor.
Great little system. I bet it would be a very zippy 64bit Windows 10 machine.
+gartbull Do you need a 64 bit processor to use a 64 bit operating system?
+eTechTom Yes you do. I'm guessing you know that you have a Core 2 Duo 4400 which is a 64bit cpu.
gartbull I did not know the Core 2 Duo was a 64 bit processor. I hadn't looked into it yet. I have a T500 laptop with the same processor and had the same problem with the max memory not getting recognized. I didn't realize that in that case it was because I have the 32 bit version of windows 7 on it and not the 64 bit. I'm just wondering if it will be a headache getting the 64 bit drivers I'll need to get everything running on the dell?
I find that the newer Windows versions are more likely to have most of the drivers for older hardware. Windows 10 has been great in this regard. You are right though, you may still have to track down some drivers. It would be great to have access to all that RAM though.
I had a Dell dimension 9200 Core 2 duo machine with Windows 10 64 bit, it was great :) no driver problems at all
Yo tengo esa pc pero con 2Gb de Ram, 64 bits, windows 10
He actualizado a Windows 10 también e instalado un procesador Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz
@@tmc200527 igual yo tengo la 745 con 4 GB de RAM y procesador dual Core 2 ,podre ponerle esa misma tarjeta grafica?
AIWEN PEN NA YUWA AMRESH PURI...
I can enter core quaq 9550?
I upgraded my 745 to a QX6800. You just need to make sure the socket is correct and that the FSB speed is compatible. The chipset on this motherboard is up to 1066 MHz.
please someone send me link to buy compatible video card for dell optiplex 745 2gb.
Chetan Tamboli search on amazon the "Nvidia gt 730 2gb low profile". it's just 50€ (55$)
I know you guys said this a year ago, but I'm trying to buy this pc and I need a gpu... Is there one that's cheaper?
GeForce 210 or 610 are the cheapest.
Ok but how it works, those powers supplies don´t have 300 watts
This card doesn't draw very much power.
its the same on optiplex 755
Hakam Eida same on the 780
try windows 7
I can see your in a tangle
the computer can go to windows 7
I'm running windows 10 now on the Dell Optiplex. It was a free upgrade.
Install 64 bit system
ThE Game - MiLeN4o why excatly 64 bit not 32 ?
64 bit addresses much more RAM.
Why does it have 504mb of ram thats a weird number :/
It's actually 512mb. 504 will be the amount available to the OS.
Windows xp 😂
INSTALL WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE!(smile)
Damn you're slow!
I installed a new Hard Drive in my Dell Optiplex 780 sff, but it says it doesn't detect the hard drive, could it be because the hard drive was formatted?
Make sure it's connected to SATA 0 port.
dont seem to knowledgeable of PCs and your a tech channel lmao
Core 2 duo😂😂😂😂
