Hello,
Currently, I have the following setup:
-Mobo: GA41M-ES2L
-CPU: Core2duo E7400 2.8
-RAM: single 2GB 800
-GPU:Nvidia 9400GT
-PSU:Gigabyte suberp 550W
I would like to change the mobo to have more RAM.The issue I am having is that I am installing a PCIE x1 DVB-S2 card and it is preventing me from installing another 2GB RAM because boths slots are very close. But I wonder should I also change the CPU? With this CPU mentioned above, how much RAM can I put into my system or does this only depend on motherboard type? And please help me which motherboard should I buy and Which type of RAM. Is DDR3 ok? And If I should change the CPU, please advice me on a good CPU to go with?
Thanks and best regards,
Sami
