I just bought a Late 2008 Dell Optiplex 960 from my universities surplus store.
Here is a detailed Technical Guide.
I am going to purchase more RAM so it has 8GB DDR2 800MHz(which is supposedly its maximum). But am I allowed to go more than this or will it not work (for Instance if I bought 4x4GB of DDR2 800MHz RAM, would the computer not work with it?
Currently it has 250GB Hard drive in it, but i want to use it to learn about servers (I want to make my first home server to stream media and host a game server on it). But I have no idea how large of a Hard Drive I can put inside it. What limits the size of a hard drive I can put in this thing? I am hoping to put at least 500 GB in in (but preferably 750GB as I have an extra 750GB 3.5" Drive laying around my house.
