Hello everyone,
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my old computer. It's starting to show it's age, but I want to squeeze as much life out of it as I can. It's an HP Pavilion P6210f desktop, 500gb hard drive, 8 gigs of ram, AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor @ 2.6ghz, ATI Radeon HD 5570 video card.
The motherboard is only compatible with AM3 processors and has a 95 watt limit. I can upgrade to the following:
This motherboard supports only AM3 processors
Memory support is limited to DDR3 modules only.
HyperTransport 3.0
Split power planes allow separate power management for CPU and integrated memory controller for improved power savings.
Supports the following processors:
AMD Phenom II X4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (Deneb)
AMD Phenom II X3 7xx/7xxe Triple-Core (Heka)
AMD Phenom II X2 5xx (Callisto)
AMD Athlon II X4 6xx/6xxe (Propus)
AMD Athlon II X3 4xx/4xxe (Rana)
AMD Athlon II X2 2xx/2xxe (Regor)
I was thinking about getting a 645 @ 3.1ghz to give it a speed boost. And, the graphics also need an upgrade. But I don't want to spend to much or upgrade the 300watt power supply, as it is a 6 year old system. I was thinking of putting a Radeon 250X in it.
Suggestions?
