[help02020]

Hi, I have a ET1850 Mother board and i would like a cheap good upgrade, that can improve fps and stability, I currently have a Intel Pentium E5700, GT610, and 3GB of ram (1gb/2gb)
What should i upgrade (will it be worth it?/how much will it improve performance?)
should i upgrade?
My budget is 50$

Thanks

Hello,

You have a LGA 775 socket, which does not support any CPU past Intel Core 2 Quad which is 4 cores.

The cheapest things to upgrade to improve performance are RAM. The more RAM you have, the better.

The Max amount of RAM that system can handle is 4 GB

no good going above 3GB of memory unless your hardware and OS can handle 64bit.
best bet may be to convert to a solid state drive, but again, with the board’s age, achieving the SATA I/O through-put that SSD’s can manage would be negated on that old 12 year old architecture.
