Okay, cruising Dell.ca found me the specs (although it appears some things were options and so I have no idea of your exact machine specs) it gives us a good starting point:
Dellâ⢠Dimensionâ⢠4600 Series Service Manual
Microprocessor type
IntelÃÂ PentiumÃÂ 4 that runs at 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, or 3.0 GHz internally and 800 MHz externally; or 2.26, 2.4, 2.53, 2.666, 2.8, or 3.06 GHz internally and 533 MHz externally.
System Information
System chip set
Intel 865PE
Expansion Bus
Bus type
PCI
PCI connectors
three
AGP
AGP 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X
Memory
Architecture
Dual Channel DDR SDRAM
Memory connectors
four
Minimum memory
128 MB DDR SDRAM
Maximum memory
4 GB
Memory type
PC2700 (333-MHz) or PC3200 (400-MHz) DDR SDRAM (non-ECC)
Drives
Internally accessible
two bays for 1-inchââ¬âhigh IDE hard drive
Ports and Connectors
Serial
9-pin connector; 16550C-compatible
Parallel
25-hole connector (bidirectional)
USB
two front-panel and six back-panel USB 2.0ââ¬âcompliant connectors
Network
RJ-45 connector
Audio
Five back miniature connectors for line-in, line-out, microphone, surround and center/Low-Frequency Effects (LFE) channel
Internally accessible:
Primary IDE channel
40-pin connector on PCI local bus
Secondary IDE channel
40-pin connector on PCI local bus
Serial ATA
two 7-pin connectors
Video
Video controller
AGP8X
Network
Network controller
Integrated IntelÃÂ PRO 10/100 Ethernet
Okay, that's the generic stats, assuming that you're running Windows XP, if you can go to: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and then click on the System icon, you'll get us what memory and CPU you have in the machine.
To get us your hard drive specs, click on My Computer on the desktop, right click on your hard drive (C:) and then click on Properties, that will get us how big the drive is and how much space is used and then click on the tab marked "Hardware" and take down the model number of the hard drive (it's called only "drive" under XP) and we can then see what kind of device we're dealing with here.
