That minimal amount of increase is not going to be a very noticeable increase also the processor or a faster RPM hard drive is more for the speed. you can go to the system properties in control panel and then the advanced tab and then the settings tab on performance then to the Advanced Tab then to change tab in virtual memory then to custom size make the initial setting 1.5 times the amount of memory installed in your case 768 x 1.5 = 1152
on the max 3 x the amount of memory again, in you case 768
768 x 3 = 2304

yes you can do. Go to www. dell.com and download the booot in USB. AND get software diagnostic from Dell too, all for free.God bless you

Which operation system are you using?

Hey Tim,.Once you installed Windows 7 onto the hard drive you would need to have installed the drivers. The one driver that is needed for resolution is the video card.You can right click on the desktop and then choose screen ressolution to see if you can change the resolution. Unfortunately, Dell does not have any Windows 7 drivers for the Dimension 2350 system.Thank You,Dell-Jesse LDell Social Media and Communities

The ram you will need if you want to upgrade to 1GB is DDR400 (better known as PC 3200U (400MHZ BUS speed)), if you already have it, be aware that static is a very dangerous thng to microchips as it causes them to fail, so plug the PC in and leave the switches turned OFF, this will ground the case, open the panel with care and make sure you touch the chassis regularly and DO NOT work on a carpet for obvious reasons, there will be two white clips on the sides of the module(s) already in the system, push the tabs back to release the module, remember to handle the memory from the top and don't touch the contacts, take the new module, line it up with the notch in the middle of the socket and the RAM, and lightly push it in until the white tabs lock into place, then close everything up, power it up and run MEMTEST86 and Prime95 to make sure the system is stable with the new RAM and that it will not cut out or blue screen.

Change your computer display settings: try a lower resolution first like 800 X 600 then gradually increase it until your monitor 'complains' (eg. is not stable and jumps around or cannot display anything properly). You could also fine tune your video card display 'frequency' if it has been set higher than 50 or 60 htz as your momitor may not be able to handle anything higher.

If you are playing pogo games ? Pogo.com is an online gaming website where you can play well-known games such as Monopoly, Battleship and Scrabble -- along with scores of other board, word, puzzle and arcade games -- in a Web browser window. The games on Pogo are programmed using Adobe Flash, and are viewed in a small box inside the browser. If your computer has a large display, you may find the games difficult to see because of the of the game box. Although you cannot independently adjust the of the Pogo game box, there are several tricks that you can use to make games appear larger on your screen. Magnify the browser window. In Internet Explorer 9, click the gear-shaped button in the upper-right corner of the screen, and click "Zoom" and "Zoom In." Browse in full screen mode. In Internet Explorer 9, press the "F11" key to enter this mode, and press "F11" again to leave it. Lower the screen resolution. In Windows 7, minimize the browser, right-click the desktop and select "Screen Resolution." Click the drop-down menu next to "Resolution," and select a lower resolution than the one currently displayed. Because a lower resolution uses less pixels to display the information on the screen, this has the effect of making the Pogo game box larger. Remember to change the resolution back when you are done playing. Disable the address and status bars in Internet Explorer 9 if a portion of the game window is cut off. Click the gear-shaped button, and then click "Internet Options." Click the "Security" tab, then click the "Custom Level" button. Click the "Enable" radio button next to "Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars," then click "OK" twice. Close and re-open your Pogo game window. Press the "F4" key. Some Pogo games enter full-screen mode when this key is pressed, but many do not. Hope this helps. b>

So ask yourself, Have I installed any new devices lately? disable, remove, or roll back the driver to correct the problem. Try to disable or remove the drivers and see if this resolves the issues. If it does, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Sometimes manufacturers know about issues and make fixes.Hope this helps.
