Hello,
I currently have a system that is over 3 years old and is starting to show some hiccups in performance, which is why I started thinking about a new build. However, seeing it is not the 4 years of age that I thought at first, I'm wondering if there is a relatively simple upgrade for this system. The specs are:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
Motherboard: Asus P5Q Turbo
Harddisk: Western Digital wd5000aaks-00d2b0 (500GBs)
RAM: I'm not sure which it is exactly but it is 4GB
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
So I thought about putting in more memory, but to use it I would need a 64-bit OS. Also, for a modern GPU I would also need a new motherboard, which would lead to almost a complete system renewal. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
sroberti
