I've had this Dell Precision 620 for some time and decided to get it running again. I did a clean install of Windows 2000 and it runs but there are several problems that I can't seem to work out.
The machine consists of the following
--Dual P3 Xeon 1000/133/256 Processors
--36 GB SCSI Hard-Drive for OS and Applications
--3 GB Ram (4 x 512, 4 x 256)
--Windows 2000 SP4
--BIOS Revision A12
--250 GB IDE Hard-Drive for Files
The first problem I noticed was that it runs extremely slow, I have two othe machines from the same era with similar specs that run much, much faster. During start-up, I entered F2 to make sure both processors are recognized and they are, but they are listed as 266/133/256.
Second problem is that the computer only recognizes 2 GB Ram. According to the Dell manual, 3 GB is max.
Third problem is that the 250 GB IDE Hard-Drive is not recognized. It came with a jumper in the "cable select" position which I left as is but it did not show so I removed the jumper (slave) but it did not help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
