I have a Dell Inspiron 531 and I have recently been upgrading it. Here is what it is Currently Windows 8 Pro 32bit (just upgraded from Windows Vista), AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.1GHZ, 3GB of RAM, Standard 300w PSU and an ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Graphics Card. The BIOS is version 1.0.13 so there no problem with CPU support.
I am Currently Upgrading the RAM to 4GB which I already know how to do and just need some advice on changing the CPU I have a rough idea of how to do it but just to make sure there's no complications I would like to know if there are any adjustments I need to make. I have purchased the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHZ 89w and just need to install it. Iv had no problems with Windows 8 Pro on the current processor and hardware so it should be good to go! All I want to know is if there are problems you can see or adjustments that need to be made before I go ahead with this setup as it looks all ok to me.
Lastly I am also looking to upgrade my hard drive so if anybody can give some links to some good deals on hard drives (preferably in the UK) I would be most grateful. Also is it possible to have 2 internal hard drives installed at once (original and new together) or will the power supply only support up to one?
Thanks for all the Help!
