Assisting a friend online in improving their Dell Optiplex 745 MT system
His friend is using a Dell Optiplex 745 Mini Tower and is trying to upgrade it for better performance. He aims for 16 GB of RAM but is stuck with DDR2 memory. He’s unsure if the motherboard is ATX or mATX, though he knows the power supply has a 24-pin connector. He wants to know if the existing screw holes are suitable for a replacement board and which size board to purchase. He also mentioned switching from Windows XP to Linux Lite because internet access was limited, and plans to eventually upgrade to Windows 10.
