 Thread : Dell Optiplex GX280 Upgrade Question

More Information

I have a Dell GX280, that I want to turn into a home server, it currently has a P4 2.80, running on a Intel 915P/915G (according to CPU-Z). My question is, will a P4 3.4ghz, be compatible with this board? Also, I know this should go into the memory forum, but since I have this post, will this machine handle 4gb of ram? or rather 3.5gb with 32bit limitation.

Thanks in advanced.
