Okay, so I need to upgrade this dell dimension E520. Its specs are... CPU-> Intel Pentium D 2.80 GHz 2.79GHz. RAM-> 1.00GB ( I don't know what ddr it is). OS-> Windows Vista Home Basic, 32-bit.
The task is to upgrade this computer to Windows 7 Professional Edition add more ram...overall make this computer much faster. I need some help however making the right decisions. I'm more familiar with newer computer (sandy bridge and higher) So with this older computer I might need some guidance.
Some of my main questions are...
What type of ram should I put into this?
How much ram to where it won't bottleneck. ( Basically I know that a 32bit system can't support more than 4gb of ram, this computer will be used as an excel/ accounting computer so there will be multiple windows opened)
Can this computer support Windows 7 Professional efficiently?
Can air dusting the inside of the computer make the computer run smoother?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out.
