The motherboard in question mounts an Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 and 3GB of DDR2. Turning to Windows 10, the performance has slightly decreased (the CPU is always busy between 50 and 70% while the ram is busy between 60-80%). Being the 32bit operating system I don't think there are options for a RAM upgrade.

Do you know if it is appropriate to try a processor upgrade? if so which model could bring an improvement? (some quadcore is compatible)
