Upgrading Precision 380

We have used this computer since 2007 and still works great.  however with the technology requiring more more performance... just wondering if the motherboard of this computer could be upgraded with i3 core processor and expand the memory to 1GB

    There are no CORE I3 LGA755 cpus.  Max CPU for this board is Pentium D 960 when it has the copper heatpipe heatsink

    X9694 CPU Heatsink & Shroud Assembly, Performance

    Max Ram is 8 Gigs DDR2 6400 non buffered non ecc non registered RAM.

    Core I3 I5 I7 requires DDR3 Ram. With the latest bios and Pentium D 900 series it will work with windows 8 or 10.

    I have seen inexpensive Pentium D's on Ebay and Amazon

    SL9QQ seems to be the max for a 5150




    Most of the hardware uses Native Windows 7/8 Drivers with the exception of the Audio Codec.

    2. Dell will qualify Windows Vista for Basic Windows Vista functionality on the following Latitude legacy platforms: D800, D600, D400, D410, D505, D810, D610, D510, X300

    To run the premium versions of Windows Vista, including the Windows AeroTM  user interface, PC's should be configured with at least 1GB system RAM and 128 MB graphics memory.

    To help further optimize the Windows Vista experience Dell recommends 2 GB dual-channel (2-DIMMs) system RAM, a Dual-Core processor, a 7200 rpm Hard Drive and at least a 256 MB discrete graphics card.
