Ok, so my uncle is a Sign Writer and his computer is running a little slow, he is only after an upgrade at the minute and i feel he would benefit from a CPU and RAM (i was shocked he only had 2GB of RAM!) upgrade.

What would be a good upgrade from an E6550 whilst keeping on socket 775 for graphic design work?

Unsure of exact mobo model

Thank you in advance
 
SSD sounds the best option but im unsure his mobo and if it supports AHCI? or does this not matter?

He has a lot of work and applications on his HDD so any advice on how to transfer everything over to a new SSD please?

Thanks again
 
If the mobo doesnt support AHCI could he expect to see decent gains in performance? I havent had a look inside the machine yet but i reckon he is rockin some 5400rpm HDD
