i have a OptiPlex GX620
it has a pentium 4 cpu and 2gb ram and i have maxed out it's abilities. i run linux and i constantly am getting little freeze ups from cpu hitting 100%. I think i have to upgrade the cpu and ram.
can i just up the ram to 4, or is it really better to up the cpu and ram? But i don't think i can just replace the cpu without replacing the motherboard. I am still trying to understand that. or do i just replace the cpu heat sink with a water cooled system and overclock?
Any suggestions? I am willing/able to spend about 200$. can i even upgrade for that much $?
