Welcome to the Dell Community [NAME]  Sounds like a good deal. [URL] Lets start with memory. [ PC2-6400S ] 2GB + 2GB = 4GB YES 2GB + 4GB = 6GB YES 4GB + 4GB = 8GB Sometimes??? The CPU can also be upgraded. [URL] The Core 2 Duo T7800 would be best. Then an SSD would make it complete. You could probable install W10. Best regards and good luck, U2
Hello community, Im new here and just picked up a 2008ish Vostro 1710 from a local yard sale in near new condition. Had matching leather bag, USB mouse and mousepad, and ALL the software that originally came with it unopened. At some point relatively early in its life someone installed a 500gb western digital hdd, which is good.. better than the 160gb from Dell, and it has 4gb of ram... My question is... Since it is still running XP (service pack 3, 32bit) if I were to update it to a 64bit OS... is the motherboard still limited to 4gb max ram? I cannot find any information on it. Otherwise, it is a perfectly usable laptop.. and for only $5 for everything, I can afford to play around with it.
