$100 Computer CPU & Motherboard Upgrade - Pentium G3240 3.1GHz - Gigabyte H81 Unboxing

This video talks about a good deal on a motherboard and CPU upgrade for an older computer, something between 3 to 7 years old.

If you'd like to give your computer a jump in performance while adding modern features such as USB 3.0, SATA 3, HDMI, etc. then this might be for you.

You can reuse your existing DDR3 RAM in this motherboard without concern over voltages, vs the new Skylake motherboards that are only certified for 1.35V DDR3

You want the free download on the left side, the one marked "Setup - English 32 & 64-bit version"

Click on the SPD tab on the top of the program when it is open, then click on the "Slot #1" drop down box and look at each of your slots, it will tell you what is installed in each slot. If only 2 are "filled" with something, then you're good to go. If 4 or more are "filled" with something, then you won't be able to reuse all your existing RAM.
