I have a slightly tweaked Dell Vostro 200 with Windows 7 Ultimate.
Stock:
Foxconn mobo, 2160 1.8 GHz dual core CPU, integrated graphics and audio, 1 GB memory in 2/4 slots (upgradable to either 4 or 8 GB - conflicting data).
Modest Tweaks:
Had a 380 watt green PSU sitting around to replace the stock 300 watt just cuz, PCIE Asus geforce 8600gs (strictly for HDCP and $39 low price) to replace integrated graphics, 2 GB crucial memory on 2/4 available slots. Also, I have a PCI Asus sound card strictly for optical out to Onkyo receiver, if it matters. Finally, I also have 3 1/2 TB of HDD so space not an issue. Thinking of using this tweak for 2.4 upgrade: http://www.overclockers.com/dell-vostro-200/
Will this CPU increase from 1.8 to 2.4 be enough to speed up burn time? Should I also get 2 more GB sticks RAM?
8 hours read time alone is just ridickulous. TIA
