My 24x7 storage server is currently running an old AMD X2 BE-2300 45W that I bought in 2009. I believe the system is about to blow since windows is constantly slowing down to a crawl and it is showing memory issues and overall slowness even after a fresh install. Either way I'm not investing more money into an old architecture.
This is what I am looking at:

CPU:

$94 total
I can put a 4GB stick of RAM from another system.
My only deal is that this socket only offers 2x SATA ports which sucks.
Should I forget about the platform entirely and buy something different with more ports (although the 25w is really appealing)
Or what sort of SATA expander should I consider thats decent?
