Hi,

Were there socket 775 motherboards out there that even supported 16 Gb of RAM ?

That said, I've an oldish Dell OptiPlex 745 and its the SSD that makes the biggest difference. Anything else is money down the drain IMHO. Especially when you consider the age of such a pc/portable.

Cheers,

Agreed!

4GB should be enough for a smooth w10 experience imho. Adding more ram never hurts though.

Inexpensive 120 GB SSD for main OS, and HDD for data is without doubt the best thing for any PC, old and new. It makes a 7 years PC look like a current one in my experience (my netbook for example :) ). And a SSD can be reused in future computers unlike RAM (if previous generation) or CPU.
