opened it up...
2 free ram slots so it should be able to go up to 4 gigs
the mobo is smaller than the case - only has 4 slots - one looks AGP other 2 PCI or PCI-e and then a little short one (forgot what thats for)
350w power source
seems like if i maxed out the ram it might be good for some gaming but i barely do that nowadays. i'm thinking leave it as is for file backups
i appreciate all the help - thanks for schooling me
