Hey fellow Dell people,

  I'm trying to upgrade my ram from 2gb to at least a 16gb max 32gb. I know it can done because I've seen it before.

The only thing is as of this moment I'm running on everything stock, os, ram, motherboard, etc. If i upgrade to a 16gb ram, will i need to upgrade the power supply, motherboard and cooling system? I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 professional so i can do art, music and gaming like minecraft, gta and stuff like that. But i have a Windows vista 32bit (dear god the horror) I was also looking at 4gb x 4 ram for the upgrade and saw it was a little shorter than my stock ram chip set. Will it matter? Heat is obviously going to build up so I'm going to have to install a better cooling system. I was thinking about water cooling (Not the one were it's entirely submerged in de - ionized water or mineral oil) Basically the one were the water travels thru tubes and thru a small radiator mounted right above the ram set or video card or w/e. But in addition to all these upgrades I will need a bigger power supply, ALSO will the mother board be able to handle all of this??? IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS lol what else will I need to do?

I love Dell, they're like Volkswagen, Built like tanks but if one thing goes wrong it creates a whole new world of "damn it's time to bury my wallet".
So dell community, what do i need to do and how do I do it correctly?
