Not that anyone is ever going to need this info, but if you do, I figured it out!I have a Alienware Aurora R1!Here is info for the max CPU: [URL]#M924250Here is info for the max RAM: [URL] Here is how to identify which model Alienware Aurora you have: [URL] I'm looking to upgrade to 16GB 1600Mhz RAM ($75), the Intel Xeon 3.33GHz ($30), and then spec out a nice GPU! You can easily upgrade the hardware in these old beasts very inexpensively! Will also look to get a PCI USB 3.0 card and a nice AC WiFi card. Going to breathe some life back into this old beast!
Hi everyone, Hope you are doing well today! I just received an old 2009 Alienware from a friend. I am trying to identify: 1) what CPUs are compatible; and, 2) what GPUs are compatible. The 1st issue I ran into was even trying to identify what model Alienware this device is. If anyone can tell me what the Alienware Aurora model is and the compatible CPUs and GPUs it would be much appreciated! I already attempted to look-up my Dell Service Tag in order to identify the model number, but it is not listed. Thank you very much in advance for the help!Here are the specifications:  Computer Model : AuroraBIOS Vendor : Alienware Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHzClock Speed : 2.8GhzL2 Cache Size : 1024 Memory: M5KH0 Module,Dual In-Line Memory Module,9G,3X2G/3X1G,1333 Network: KD8JF Module,Card,Network,BLTH365,Alienware,World Wide Base: G810M Base,DEIMOS,ANW-DT,AURORA CPU: 7WF65 Module,Processor,I7-930,2.8,Bloomfield,ANW DT GPU: 66KVJ Module,Card,Graphics,JUNIPER,Parker,G
