I have a system i3-2100, GA-H61M-S26-B3 Gigabyte mobo (4X SATA 2.0, USB 2.0, Dual channel/DDR3 RAM), 1X4 GB RAM, SATA 500 GB, 7200 RPM HDD and Seagate 500 GB SATA 2.0 3 Gps GoFlex external drive. It has NO USB 3.0 or SATA 3.0 6 Gps ports and I'm thinking of upgrading to a USB 3.0, SATA 3.0 system. I use ERP package with database, play no games and dont want to invest in a graphics card.
a. If the current RAM usage is less than 1 GB will the system performance improve if I get additional 4 GB RAM so as to utilize the Dual memory architecture and increase the bandwidth ? Or will I be wasting my money buying additional RAM.
b. Will going in for a H67 mobo with SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 improve performance if I go in for a SATA 3.0 internal HDD compared to current configuration ?
c. Which external HDD drive should I go in for ...USB 3.0 or SATA 3.0 6 Gps for best performance?
d. Will there be any noticeable change in performance when connecting an external HDD thru USB 3.0/SATA 3.0 v/s a
SATA 2.0 one ?
