Hi all.
I'm new here and don't know too much about bios modding/flushin etc...
I have an HP Pro 3300 micro tower running a headless ubuntu server in my house. It has a Foxconn 2ABF v.1.0 MB. The bios ver. is 7.09. It has a core i3 2100 cpu with 2 x 4Gb Ram modules.
I suppose my demands from this server has increased over time as lately I see more and more CPU and Ram maxed out.
After searching I understand that there's a way to get this motherboard to support 16gigs of ram and a Xeon e3 1225 v2. However I couldn't find a simple step by step guide on how to achieve this.
I can't figure out what bios I need for this. I can't flash the bios regularly as it's a headless ubuntu machine, and I'm not sure exactly if I can do this via USB, and exactly how to do this.
Another option would be to replace the CPU with a core i7 2700k. The question is weather this processor is supported nativly and what about the Ram.
This is a production machine so I can't afford to make mistakes that will render it unoperable.
Would anyone be willing to provide a clear answer if it is doable and how?

Thanks in advance
Itsik
