Hi there,
I'm getting a little confused over what is the best option to go for upgrading this old little machine.
I need a new HDD for sure, but unsure what is the best option to go for as I'm really not sure what the motherboard would support?
I believe the motherboard supports up to DDR3, so was going to try and max out on that RAM?
Now I'm not sure if I want to upgrade the GPU or CPU due to budget constraints, but if you seem to think it would be much better to do so, then I would be happy to hear it.
The machine drags so slowly now and some tasks, such as windows updating in the background, can cripple it for hours and make it totally unresponsive to even ctrl-alt-del
Happy to hear all options or ideas if there is anyone out there that wants to throw out their two cents!
Thanks
Jimbob
