So i bought a dell inspiron n4050 in 2011 (i think, its been a while). Recently the hard drive died, other than that i have been perfectly happy with it. Anyways this strikes me as a perfect oportunity to upgrade it. But i need some information that i have been finding hard to find. I need to onow 3 things.
1. Is there a limit to the size an ssd can be for a particular machine?
2. The laptop has a removable cpu, is the only thing limiting what cpu i can put in there the socket it has? Or are there some other limitimg factors, like cpu generation or mother board or something that i have no idea about? The socket is a PGA988
3. What determines the ram limit? I have readt that the OS limits the ram, are there other factors as well?
I am confidant i can do the actual upgrades myself, i just dont want to be buying equipment i cant use.
Any help would be appreciated
