I recently acquired an eMachine for close to nothing (monetarily)
Specs:
eMachine ET1831-05 x64 based PC
Intel Celeron 450 2.20 GHz
3 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
mobo: ????
I am looking to make it capable of handling multiple virtual machines, and a heavy work load. I have been unsuccessful in finding how much RAM it can handle, or what type of PSI expansion/video card I can install. I'm even open to installing a new CPU . . . if it'd be worth it. I'm NOT looking to make it anything special. I am limited on funds and am looking to make it capable of handling what little labs I require . . . from at home. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to enable this machine to give my a little more capability? Besides "scrapping" it and saving for something more financially depleting.
Thanks for any help in advance.
