Only two ram slots on that mobo, so check whether you have one or two already in place. You'll need two 2gb sticks if you have 2x 1gb in already.

Just go for the cheapest you can find - Athlon only supports up to 1333mhz (faster Ram is compatible, but will be downclocked)

Thanks i know there's one slot free as i had a look inside the case yesterday .

Get another 2GB RAM and a 120GB+ SSD.

My dad runs an X2 7850 BE and the biggest factor in its performance was the SSD, even with 2GB of RAM it was very snappy. 4GB is just the icing on the cake.

Also make sure it has a decent entry level card in it like a HD 6450, makes a huge difference in a number of browsing and productivity tasks.

More questions sorry !

Take it if i put in a Sapphire HD 6450 1GB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI PCI-E Graphics it would fit on the mobo ok and make a better difference than the integrated one?

Thanks once more
