Best for my old computer
Last response: in Motherboards
Hello, this is about a old computer which I bought in early 2008 - a hp pavillion a1510y.Its very unreliable to keep a Pentium4 2.8 Ghz HT which it has right now.so what I would like to ask is what is the best ram/cpu/gpu for this. I would not prefer to update as I have a i5 2500k for gaming and since this is my first pc I do not want to dump it as long it is workable for basic tasks though.
For your help, here are thespecs which might help.
RC415ST-HM R1.0 LGA775 Mobo (supports FSB 533/800)/Ati X1100 256 mb onboard
160 Gb Sata HDD
CURRENTLY HAS 1 gb ram / P4 2.8 Ghz HT
I could not make out the PCIe version.......
The current manual states that 2 gb ram is the limit.can i exceed that ?

Yeah, I had the p4 from 2008 and bought the i5 2500k combined with HD 7970 3 gb for games earlier this year. And to clear AMD Radeon's doubt the system supports DDR2 533/677 NOT DDR. Anyway thats not my question.My question is that can I EXCEED THE 2GB LIMIT AND FIT MORE ? And what is the PCIe version of my mobo RC415ST-HM REV 1.0 ? (I intend to fit a cheap hd 5450 for HD movies)....
And the last question...the best cpufor my mobo...the best I could find was a Pentium D960 3.6 Ghz. Any better suggestions ?
