CPU vs. RAM - How should I upgrade my system?
This is my first post, so I hope my system details can be seen.
Since I had my system for some time, I was wondering if I could upgrade it meaningfully.
I am not a gamer, but use photo-software (just upgraded to Photoshop CS5) and some occasional video conversion.
Since I can only make use of 3.25 Gb from the installed 4GB, I thought upgrading to x64 was the right thing to do.
Currently I do not want to spend the money and purchase a new mainboard, CPU, RAM etc.
But is there a partial solution?
My main board could take a faster Core 2 Quad CPU or I could upgrade my RAM to 8GB ...
