Hello,
I need to upgrade the system of my father in law. He has an old computer but he cannot spend a lot of money to buy a new one. The computer works way to slow, even when you want to open chrome. He has basic needs, like watching youtube videos, checking email, web browsing, skype calls and maybe office.
His specs are the following
Cpu: Intel pentium E2180 @2.00GHz
Ram: 1 GB Single channel DDR2 @333 MHz (5-5-5-15)
Motherboard: ASUSTek Computer INC P5LD2-X/1333 (lga775)
Hard drive:HDD 232GB Seagate ST3250318AS (SATA)
So is it possible to upgrade those components to make it faster and possibly update os (as he is still in windows xp) and have no lag in the simple tasks stated above. He is not a power user at all. Basic tasks only. I was thinking obviously additional ram but is it enough?What more can I do with a budget of 100 euros more or less?
