DDR3 800 / 1066 MHz unbuffered DIMM modules 240 pin; 1.5 V; 64
bit, no ECC
512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 MBytes per module
You may use only unbuffered 1.5 V memory modules without ECC.
DDR3 memory modules must comply with the PC3-8500 or PC3-10600
specification.
With a memory configuration of 8 Gbytes, the visible and usable main
memory may
be reduced to 7.25 Gbytes (depending on the system configuration).
Intel® Pentium® processor E5700 (2 Cores / 2 Threads, 3.0 GHz, 2 MB, 800 MHz) RAM 2+4 GB.
Video card included in the motherboard
internal HD 300 GB
I think there would be added a second HD of 80 GB or maybe another of 300 GB because actually in the internal HD there are installed Windows 10 and Debian 10.
The use will be general, just internet and some simple use for a normal person (Not special or specifically and deep use).
That machine should work as a basic Linux desktop -- e-mail, simple web
browsing, office productivity, etc..
It might be possible to install a better CPU, but that would require
more research. I would keep the existing CPU.
Your memory modules appear to be different sizes. Memory modules must
be matching pairs to ensure dual-channel operation, which improves
overall performance (especially if you are using motherboard graphics).
I suggest:
1. Verify that the existing 4 GB module meets the motherboard
specifications. If so, obtain a matching module and replace the 2 GB
module.
2. If not, or if you cannot match the existing module, install a kit of
two matching 4 GB memory modules that meet the motherboard specifications.
Rather than dual-boot, I put drive racks in my computers and put each OS
on its own drive. This makes it very easy to install, run, and maintain
multiple operating systems:
3. Remove the floppy disk drive and cable, if installed, and install a
dual 2.5" SATA 3 drive rack in the external 3.5" bay:

4. Connect the drive rack to the motherboard with SATA 3 cables:

5. You may need a SATA power splitter cable:

If you need more SATA ports, now or in the future:
6. Install a 2-port SATA 3 HBA in the PCIe x1 slot:

The 300 GB SATA HDD is too slow for a system drive and too small for a
data drive. I have a 3.5" SATA HDD enclosure with a trayless rack that
I use with drives like this for sneaker net, backups, images, etc.. If
you decide to go this route, make sure that you get an enclosure with a
cooling fan. (3.5" SATA HDD docking stations are another option, but
the exposed PCB worries me.)
