i also think you should have between 4 - 6gb which would run nice and smoothly, check eBay for cheap ram, and you might be able to pick up a cheap motherboard to suit your needs!
The cost would depend on the processor you wanted to purchase. An upgrade is probably possible (the Pentium Dual-Core is based on the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors) but you would need to make sure your motherboard supports the proper FSB speeds for your processor of choice.
Depends on how much power you need. You use a Socket 775 processor for a socket 775 motherboard. Core 2 Quad @2.66Ghz, $169.99 Pentium Dual-Core @2.93Ghz, $79.99 The more power, the bigger the price.
It supports a Max of 32GB DDR3 2000, 1866, 1600, 1366, and 1066. Although, if you are planning to buy this board new... I wouldn't recommend it. I'd look at an AM4 motherboard that supports the new Ryzen CPUs. the asker: thank you for the answer, but i found that the motherboard in question is very good for a budget build using 1866 MHZ DDR3. but thank you for the recommendation. if you have a better motherboard in mind (that uses AMD3 DDR3) please tell me.
It depends on the motherboard. There are some that allow you to run two CPUs, but you can't buy any old motherboard and shove two processors in there. I'd recommend just getting a dual, quad, or sextuple core CPU because having multiple CPUs doesn't up speed, it is like having a dual core processor. Not all programs can use multiple cores, so it is, in my opinion, much better to just get 1 multi-core CPU than to get multiple CPUs.
If it shares the same slot-type and the motherboard supports it, yes. In some cases, a motherboard will support a processor with a higher number of cores than was originally intended thanks to BIOS updates. For instance, Asus M2N motherboards were originally released around the time that dual-core Athlons (Athlon X2) were gaining popularity. They supported single and multi-core processors of the AM2/AM2+ (slot) type by design. With the latest BIOS updates, they officially support AMD Phenom II X4 processors of the AM3 type up to the Phenom X4 945, and many users have had success installing 955s in these boards too. If you are considering installing a dual-core processor in place of the existing single-core processor, it would be best to check the compatibility of your board with such processors before going further.
depends on the motherboard, but average would be 4gb.
x32 version uses about 3.8 Gb even if you have more than that. It's maximum what it supports. x64 can handle much more than 4 Gb, it's about hundreds of Gbs. the main thing is how much the motherboard can support
Two common types of motherboard are ATX and Micro-ATX. An ATX motherboard is much larger and allows for additional hardware to be installed.
The Northbridge is one of the most important parts of a motherboard's architecture.When it goes out there's not much you can do about it except get a new motherboard.
The processor is capable of addressing up to 4 GB of RAM. Chipset / motherboard limitations may make the possible max for a system less than that.
It depends on what it came with and how much you've installed.
pretty much nothing
