Compliments of the season one and all,

I am in two minds; upgrade my Dell Dimension 9200 running XP or a refurbed HP Z240 which will cost a lot more!

The upgrade would basically entail more RAM (currently 3gb) to 8 gb; the processor is already a Quad core and appears to tick the boxes. I would then upgrade to W7 64 bit.

I have been doing a lot of searching and in theory, it seems there should be no issue but, one thread says:

Dell dimension ( 9200-C with Intel G965 Express ) chipset Max 4 GB 533-, 667-, and 800-MHz DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM
Dell Dimension 9200 with Intel P965 Express) chipset. Max 8 GB 667- and 800-MHz DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM


Using CPU-Z, I have the chipset information as Intel P965/G965 rev.C2.

Since the word "Express" is not used on the chipset info. does this assume that 8 gb will or will not work? Or is it simply a case of try and see?

Thanks and toodle pip
