Im build a PC for my grandfather and all he does is check stuff on the computer and sometimes plays poker starts, his current PC freezes and he has to restart all the time. I have narrowed it down to him having the lack of ram, i put a half of gig of ddr2 in there which gives him 1.5gb but even then he still maxing that.
He currently has a eMachines T5230 which is a older
Athlon 64 x2 4400+
with my 1.5gb ddr2 ram
windows vista
GPU dont matter, my grandpa isnt a gamer haha
I want to gut that PC and keep the HDD, CD drive, Case, fans and maybe the PSU i havent looked at it yet, then i want to put in
Athlon 5350 on the AM1 platform
8gb (4gb x 2) of team vulcan ram
ASUS AM1M-A AM1 motherboard
are these specs an overkill for internet browsing and pokerstars, and do you think 8gb is to much? should i go for 4gb? do you think this build will fix his freezing he is having?
btw when it freezes it locks up and if you hit anything on the keyboard, it does a loud "BEEP"
Thanks, MrAcd
