    Help please

    Hi guys: i have installed a Video card RV 250 Ati 9000 on my
    Dell Demention 4500 P4,and it has a small fan and i checked and it's not moving at all, my question is, will it run when it gets to a certain temperature?.

    Also in the Bios set up there is an option on the video setting,
    PCI and AGP when i change it to AGP it will not change and stays at PCI by default,is this normal on a Ati 9000 card?.
    Also i bought two sticks of 1g of mem ram to make the Dell Demention 4500 P4 2 Gigs of mem ram to change the 2 sticks of 525mb each.
    i've noticed on the specs of Dell 4500 it sais max 1Gb.
    my question will i take advantadge of the 2 gib mem ram that i ordered?

    you need a new gpu fan,
    or strip & clean & oil the old fan,
    or fit a bigger heatsink - or it will end up killing the card.

      Re Memory - according to Dell specs it will only take 1gb BUT there are posts in the Dell forum that suggest it will work up to 2gb so its gong to be a risk.
      Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

          The memory should work, it seems Dell did not update their docs. as it is an older product, and at the time only 512 memory modules were available. People on other forums have upgraded to 2G no problem.

              Hi guys;Update on the video card fan,i had a PC small 6v fan hanging around and had to trim the Fan blades to fit the hit sink bed, also had to lift it a little bit with plastic rings cause it was Half a quarter inch thicker,then i attached the fan wires to the same 5 v card output and so far has been working like a charm,i love my inventions.
