MayoMan123

Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my Emachines ET1840. This computer is only used for general tasks like checking emails, casual video streaming etc. Its hardware has never been upgraded but has been updated to Windows 10. No really looking to spend a lot of money on this mayo 200 max but just want to improve the overall speed of the PC on startup and the time it takes to do general tasks. I don't know what motherboard is in the PC as it doesn't state it in MSInfo. PC Info:

Go on Adverts.ie and search for "Intel Core SSD"

Anything with an SSD over 120Gb will do.

No point whatsoever in trying to upgrade an 10yo LGA775 machine.
