Hi Guys,
I'm running an older workstation, HP XW8200 with 2 x Intel Xeon 3.40GHz chips in it, both with 2 threads each. I've just upgraded my GFX card to a still old but better GTX 560 ti 2GB and have 16 GB of admittedly not great ram.
My CPU is now the lowest score on the windows experience rating (4.4) and I really want to get the max out of this machine, I'm using it to freelance video editing and motion graphics. Do you guys know of any way of overclocking this system or upgrading the CPUs or RAM? If you know of anything compatible (as it's old I'm not great at deciphering what I can use). Or if you tell me where to find out compatible CPUs etc that would also help.
Some more info if it helps people to see about upgrading anything. The Mobo is a HP 08B4h. Chipset E7525. CPU Socket 604 mPGA. Rate FSB 800.00MHz. RAM DDr2 16GB, DRAM Frequency 200.00MHz
All help much appreciated!
Cheers,
Paul
