Hi all,
My parents have an unused HP Pavilion Elite m9340f lying around their basement and I was looking to turn it into a media server to run as a plex server.
The specs:
Motherboard: Asus IPIBL-LB(Benicia) microATX
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700
Memory: 6 GB DDR2 PC2-6400
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 9500 GS
HDD: 750 GB
Power Supply: 350W
Now I just had a few questioning before I start:
1) The 9500 runs really hot and loud. I have a HD 5770 that I'm looking to put into it however I am a bit worried about the power supply. Will it be able to handle the 5770?
2) The ram has caused issues in the past including crashes. Can anyone recommend a good replacement?
3) Are there any other upgrades recommended?
Btw this is my first post here so sorry if I broke any forum rules. Thanks for your time!
