I need your help.
Thanks to this website, I upgraded my old Dell XPS 210 from 4 GB to 8 GB using 4 x 2 GB RAM chips and found a cost effective E6700 Conroe to upgrade (the Q6700 and Q7700 were not that much faster and cpu-upgrade gave them 70%ish chance of upgrade vs. E6700 with a 96% chance of upgrade, which worked!).
I'm now asking about a similar era system, HP RP5700, similar to this:
https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-compaq-business-rp5700-core-2-duo-e6400e-2-13ghz-2gb-ram-160gb-hdd-vista-business/specs/
Instead of buying four 2 GB RAM chips, I want to save money and buy two 4 GB DDR2-6400 RAM chips to upgrade from 4 GB (4 x 1 GB already installed) to 8 GB. Is that possible? Can I go to 10 or 16 GB on this system?
Also, the unit has a Celeron 440/Conroe, though the reviewed system uses a Core 2 Duo E4400e. Can I upgrade the Celeron 440 to another Conroe, a dual core E6700?
http://ark.intel.com/products/27251/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E6700-4M-Cache-2_66-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB
It has an integrated Intel GMA 3000 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0, 384 MB of shared memory, 64 bit, DDR2 at 400 MHz. I'd like to buy a half-height graphics card to upgrade to play FSX and air combat from the 2005-2088 era. Is that overkill (no pun intended) to upgrade? What are some inexpensive graphic cards that would fit?
Thanks as always
