Hey Guys,
Need sum help to get the most of my GIGABYTE G41-Combo. I currently use E8500, DDR2 4GB RAM, 500GBx2 of HDD SATA and windows 7 32 bit.
How can I upgrade it?? Adding USB 3.0 extension , Sound card or Video card? more ram? Shall I change to DDR3 from DDR2?
Will it increase the performance of the PC? Or shall Win10 will run on it properly or lag?

And most imp, can a SSD be use as RAM??


thanks & regards......
 
Intel G41 chipset does not use PCI express version 2, only version 1. Since the bandwidth of a PCIe 1.0 lane (x1) is 250MB/s, it is not possible to achieve anything close to USB 3.0 speeds.

GIGABYTE G41 is an incomplete model number. I don't know which model you are referring to specifically.
