hi all
i m pondering a h/w upgrade..plz suggest
my current specifications are as under.
my requirement is to increase the HDD to 500G. will the current h/w and mobo support it?
i will also run a bunch of other OSs (with VMWARE workstation) RHEL SLES winXP and win2k3 for testing and creating mini-lab environment. my base OS will mostly be WinXP.
i want to increase my RAM to 3 or 4 Gigs.
how much wud that cost?
does it make sense to upgrate or buy a new mobo completely.
thank you.
