Don't know that this is an upgrade, but preceding what I'm getting ready to mention, I switched my SATA hard drive over to the motherboard that accepts a quad core after getting an upgrade from a team member. Since this is my only SATA drive and that is all my Dell Inspiron will accept, it was time to retire the Dell. I don't have a disc drive for it either.

After some thought, it seemed silly to me to sideline my fastest processor even if it's only a dual core. So, after much pain and suffering, I managed to make a diskless client out of it. It can get super slow if it has to write to the hard drive on the server frequently, but for most projects, you're using ram once the wu is started.
