I have not upgraded my home computer for 3+ years. I currently have an MSI K7N motherboard with an AMD Athlon XP 2700+ w/333mhz front side bus, 1 gig of PC 3200 dimm memory, a GeForce Ti 4600 graphics card, and my hard drives run off 1st Gen. SATA.
I have not been following technology that closely for a while and am not sure what to upgrade to. I usually replace the motherboard, processor, ram, and graphics card when I upgrade. There are so many reviews it makes things confusing. Is PCI Express better/faster than AGP? Which processor to go with AMD/Intel and what price? I don't overclock so I have little interest in purchasing what works best in an overclocking scenario. What about ram? I hear that Windows Vista is going to be a system hog but I can guarantee you that I will have it and want to be prepared to run it.
