2. can anyone tell what motherboard i hav efrom the info? i want to know if i have any extra SATA slots...

if i get a 64gb SSD and PUT my windows xp on it, will i notice any performance improvement?

because with my 2gb ram, everything seems to be snappy as it is...dont know if its worth to get the ssd for OS partition.

thanksI'd open the case and look at your motherboard for its product part number ID such as my motherboard a Biostar has in big bold identification near my CPU  ( MCP6PB M2+ ). Sometimes its not in silkscreen and is a label affixed to the motherboard. With this INFORMATION you can look up your motherboard to know what it will support. Just because you have a socket 775 (socket) DOESNT MEAN you can stuff any socket 775 CPU into it and have it work. For example a friend of mine had a ABIT FATAL1TY Socket 775 gaming motherboard that ONLY SUPPORTED Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPU's. There was no BIOS update available to support the socket 775 Pentium E5400 2.7Ghz Dual-core that he bought. He ended up having to replace his motherboard to get the Pentium E5400 dual core to run.

If you list your motherboard we can go from there.
