Dell RAM limit

[Keith Smith]

Thanks Stephen!!

I think I read on the mobo that the slot is pci-express x16 pci-express 
2.0. So I would need another mobo to run the 750.  I think a cheap low 
power video card will do it for me and upgrading to 16GB of RAM will get 
me where I need to go.  I'm not a gamer and I do little video / image 
processing.  I mostly spend my time programming.  The computer spends 
most of it's time waiting on me.  Even if I had 3 virtual machines 
running all at once 2 will be fully idle and one will be idle most of 
the time.

Having said that I am hoping this really is as far as I need to go.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like a souped up machine....  That might be the 
one I build in a couple years.
