I would like to upgrade my CPU/RAM for Dell Dimension 8400.

What is the maximum CPU speed and maximum amount of RAM I can upgrade it to?

What kind of RAM specifically I should buy? I currently have 1GB of RAM(2 slots of 512). Would I ahve to through this RAM out or can I just get lets say another 2GB for one of the 2 slots?

Thank you

I will not upgrade if i were you because yours is pretty outdated. if you must, use this link for possible processors

Depending on what CPU you have you may be able to upgrade it, but not by much. I think they maxed out at a P4 3.4Ghz. I used to have one and I still have most of it lying around. I put the cpu in something else. As far as ram, yeah almost any kind of ddr2 533 will work. I am sure one of the many brands has issues.
