I have an Acer Aspire AMD machine (is called Dump as i found it in the local dump with all of the users info still on it..),
Anyway, it has 4gb memory and prime for use as a NAS machine.
I have recently upgraded the machine to 4gb memory from spares I have lying around and I have inserted an old 1GB PCIe GPU to enable the full 4gb memory for the OS.
Not really knowing my AMD stuff I have a couple of questions -
1. The CPU is an Athlon X2 4850e 2.5 GHz (I think) in an AM2 socket. Can I insert an AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition - HD995ZXAJ4BGH 2,6gGHz QUAD-CORE Socket AM2+ into this board? If I did what limitations would putting this CPU into this board result in? is it just the fact that the Level 3 cache wouldn't be usable?
2. Is it worth upgrading or stick with what I have?
