DDR3 800 / 1066 MHz unbuffered DIMM modules 240 pin; 1.5 V; 64
bit, no ECC

512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 MBytes per module

You may use only unbuffered 1.5 V memory modules without ECC.
DDR3 memory modules must comply with the PC3-8500 or PC3-10600 
specification.

With a memory configuration of 8 Gbytes, the visible and usable main 
memory may
be reduced to 7.25 Gbytes (depending on the system configuration).

That machine should work as a basic Linux desktop -- e-mail, simple web 
browsing, office productivity, etc..


It might be possible to install a better CPU, but that would require 
more research.  I would keep the existing CPU.


Your memory modules appear to be different sizes.  Memory modules must 
be matching pairs to ensure dual-channel operation, which improves 
overall performance (especially if you are using motherboard graphics). 
  I suggest:

1.  Verify that the existing 4 GB module meets the motherboard 
specifications.  If so, obtain a matching module and replace the 2 GB 
module.

2.  If not, or if you cannot match the existing module, install a kit of 
two matching 4 GB memory modules that meet the motherboard specifications.


Rather than dual-boot, I put drive racks in my computers and put each OS 
on its own drive.  This makes it very easy to install, run, and maintain 
multiple operating systems:

3.  Remove the floppy disk drive and cable, if installed, and install a 
dual 2.5" SATA 3 drive rack in the external 3.5" bay:

4.  Connect the drive rack to the motherboard with SATA 3 cables:

Product ID: 104008-BLK-24x3

5.  You may need a SATA power splitter cable:

If you need more SATA ports, now or in the future:

6.  Install a 2-port SATA 3 HBA in the PCIe x1 slot:

The 300 GB SATA HDD is too slow for a system drive and too small for a 
data drive.  I have a 3.5" SATA HDD enclosure with a trayless rack that 
I use with drives like this for sneaker net, backups, images, etc..  If 
you decide to go this route, make sure that you get an enclosure with a 
cooling fan.  (3.5" SATA HDD docking stations are another option, but 
the exposed PCB worries me.)
