Limitations of Upgrading your HP DX2200
Via Trial and error I have tested various parts in my DX2200 and now I shall share the findings.
The HP guide is very acuarte for the DX2200 and can be found here. (Quick Specs)
The fastest processor avaiable for the DX2200 is:
Dual Core: Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Processor
Single Core (HT): Intel Pentium 4 541 Processor
64 bit Support on DX2200
Some of the high end processors do support 64 bit
A bit noisey?
The DX2200 processor fan is a bit noisey and this may annoy some people I have swaped mine for a Arctic Cooling F8 , which is nice and quiet, the psu fan is nice a quiet so does need swaping out.
Memory
really is only upgradable to 2 GB on the DX2200 which a bit odd. I have tried 2 x 2GB DIMMs and they don't work . . .
Solid State Drive
Being the first PC I have owned with SATA, finally means I can use a SSD, which I would recommend over all other upgrades. The DX2200 boots in a snap and pauses are a thing of the past.
