I have a rack full of machines like this. Dual sockets with 8GB ram each. Any affordable upgrade would be a downgrade. I'm looking at at least $200 per U to upgrade from hardware that is essentially worthless. I literally got the CPUs for $2 each. There's something really funny going on with prices after core 2.

Kindof a lot, but I tell myself that servers are an efficient winter heat source.
