I've been contemplating upgrading my default HDD to a SSD for a while but was unsure about how much use it would do on my system but with my HDD starting to fail, I think it's as good of a time as any.
My issue is that I relatively new to replacing hardware and checking the compatibility of the parts before going ahead and doing it.
I'm sporting an ixtreme m3720 (with default parts minus an upgraded PSU and GFX Card ) which wasn't a very good call on my part due to the issues I've had with it before (PSU dieing, video card being horrific, poor cooling etc) but I can't seem to find any information on how compatible it would be.
I've been looking at this (Samsung 840, 120gb) drive but I'm not too sure if I would get any benefits out of it (Sata ii+ compatibility) or if I could even run it with my system because the motherboard doesn't seem to be too good.
I was thinking of that drive because it comes with a 2.5/3.5 mount which I'll need, plus it's a very recognizable brand with not bad speeds.
Does anybody have any advice or input on this?
I've also been looking to upgrade the RAM for a while now but I was told when buying it years ago that 4GB was/is the max, but it was by a salesman who didn't seem to be too interested in my questions so I was wondering if I could extend the amount of memory or does it cap at 4GB?
Thanks a lot.
