So my neighbor just gave me her old computer, and I'm trying to decide what to do.
Specs are:
Intel E8400
Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2
XFX 5750
Apevia X-Jupiter
The PSU is junk (420w Apevia) and its running 2GB of RAM.
I currently have a Dell Vostro 200 (specs in sig) which can take the 8400 and the two sticks of RAM.
Trying to decide if its worth swapping the CPUs and getting a quad LGA 775 (Q6600 maybe) and 2 x 2GB RAM for the one I received.
I have $250 in Amazon gift cards, and/or willing to pay ~$100 out of pocket (DDR2 800, why you so expensive).
Edit - Think I can get Win7 for ~$30 through school, so I guess getting an LGA 1155 board and a cheap SB (i3 2100) is also a possibility.
