Im currently getting a new PC for work and the new junior graduate is getting my old machine.
Now the machine in question is a Dell Precision T5400.
Intel Xeon E4510
4GB DDR 2 PC 5300 RAM
Nvidia Quadro NVS 290
Bascially my team leader wants to know what parts are needed to give it a bit of a performance boost (Bascially this machine isnt fit for purpose but giving it a parts upgrade is cheaper than a new machine, im the lucky one who gets the new machine.)
From my what I know I think its the RAM and GFX that are letting it down.
Do you think more than and a better GFX card will do the trick and if so which ones should I buy? Reading up on the motherboard it only seems to take ECC memory which seems really expensive.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Rich
