Not sure this will be relevant to your situation, but be aware that
obtaining memory for obsolete architectures can sometimes cost *more*
than for current architectures. I have a ThinkPad T61, which I'm quite
happy with, but although I'd love to double its memory from 2GB to
4GB, it doesn't seem to be available for less than ~ 45USD (on eBay),
while deals on DDR3 for much less constantly come up. [The machine
currently has both slots filled with 1GB DIMMS; I can compromise and
buy a 2GB DIMM for about 30USD, bringing the system total to 3GB, but
once again, this is much more expensive than (a good deal on) current
RAM.]
Not a problem. That MB is maxed out, but that will just be the server
if it will stay up without locking. The new desktop will be using a
modern MB and DDR3 memory.
