Question

Computers

In general, I don’t know how I can upgrade the system for inexpensive
Proc: 2 cores athlon 64 X2 4800+
Mother: M2N-X Plus
Video: amd radeon hd 5450 1 GB
RAM 2 GB ddr2 single channel because the second slot died for unknown reasons
I thought about updating the RAM up to 4GB but only one channel comes out and I was told there would be no real benefit from this I
thought to upgrade the processor to the AMD Phenom X4 9350e the maximum possible for this motherboard, considering that 4 cores are better than two in any case, but even here they said a minimum performance increase
What can I do with this system having 1500 hryvnia budget? Update the motherboard for some second phenomenon and buy an operational one or I have no idea, I don’t really understand what is better

Answer 1

Buy an SSD (In the event of a global upgrade, you will have it), increase the RAM to 4 GB and actually everything that can be advised, and then only a full upgrade

add maximum memory, depending on Mom , you
can’t buy anything else for this money,
your video card is about nothing

Answer 3

All updates on this hardware will not bring you any benefits. The only thing that will really be nice if you buy a cheap ssd-disk and put Windows on it. Again: if you see it as a drive in the BIOS (in theory it should).
