Speeding up my pc
Okay I know this might be a dumb question. I have a Dell XPS One 20 All in One system that's always running slow. I've upgraded the ram to its max which is 4GB but I wanted to know the max processor and video chip it is capable of running. I can make the change and purchase the equipment to do it myself but I cant seem to find the information I need to see what my device is capable of. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! So I did some digging and it looks like the XPS One 20 can take up to an Intel Core 2 Quad but I can't seem to find out which one. Everything I can see list the XPS One 24 as having the C2Q Q8200 but i'm not sure that its compatible with the XPS One 20. As for graphics cards I believe you are looking at a low power MXM card which is going to be very expensive and hard to find. They are mostly made for laptops and by OEM request so if they are on the normal market they are up there in price and harder to find. Depending on what your trying to do, you might be better off replacing the machine as its hitting 10+ years old by now?

What version of Windows? And is it 32- or 64-bit?
How much unnecessary "junk" is running in the background? Try disabling some of that stuff.
What anti-viral software are you using? Some of them -like McAfee- can really bog things down.
Open the Task Manager and look at Performance tab. What process, aside from System Idle, is hogging CPU time? ..
When was last time you defragged the hard drive? And how much free space is available on the drive?
Reboot and press F12. Look for option to run the diagnostics, especially RAM and extended hard drive tests. Copy down error messages, if any...
Does Windows see all 4 GB of installed RAM?
