Reply to:Mack The Knife.
I'm a Linux (64 Bit Ubuntu 16.04) user with an old Quad Core Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz × 4 + GeForce GT 610/PCIe/SSE2 Graphics Processor. + 8 Gig of DDR2 800Mhz RAM. Old DG451 M Board. (As posted on Jet Blast) - The limiting factor for this ancient bit of Kit is both the Memory and I/O controller Temperatures.
AHCL is set in the bios: The little (500 MB) Raptor SATA 1 HDD & Toshiba Red 3TB (Sata 1) disks are I/O limited. (Running temps 29 & 30 Deg C even under load)
In the right (modern motherboard SATA III) environment even disks like these can give great results, the 3TB can even now; give burst reads in excess of 200 MB a second on the kit described & great for internal imaging.
In your circumstances I would keep the SSD/HDD combination and re build the MB and CPU from new with careful attention to RAM Specs.
To complicate things I think Win 10 will have to be re validated.
Please post your progress as I'm finding Windows 7 & 8.1 updates on a variety of my kit to be increasingly problematic.
