Dell Inspiron 660 Swap To SAMA Maxcool-BK

CAN CONFIRM. This board WILL accept 16gigs of ram !!

I honestly think, if you're gonna upgrade an old board, then push it to it's limits in the RAM.


Video 1 & 2 are now available.

Remember, you can upgrade your Windows 7 Dell 660 to Windows 10 for free! Update the BIOS before trying different CPU's or adding an SSD.
In this series of videos, I'll show you how to swap a Dell Inspiron 660/660s or Vostro 270 motherboard into a more modern case while still retaining all of it's original functionality, and even give it some originality!!
