REPAIRS & MODIFICATIONS

  • Hard drive replaced with SSD.

  • Graphics card added.
  • Memory upgraded to 2GB (was 1GB).


NOTES

By modern standards this is a very old PC, but with the upgrades (SSD, processor, RAM and graphics) runs Windows 10 a treat. Installing the graphics card made a huge difference to overall performance. The power supply is of a very low wattage but seems to have coped with the upgrades fine (I was careful to choose a low power graphics card). It passed 12 hour Prime95 and other stability tests with no problems!
