I have an older ASUS P3V4X motherboard on the shelf I'd like to make use of for someone. I know someone who has an HP 533 mhz Celeron computer and it is a real chugger... as in very slow! I'd like to offer her a cheap upgrade and here is what I propose:
Tualatine 1.4 on a Slot-T adapter (purchase)
Asus P3V4X mobo (on hand)
128 or more SDR Ram (on hand)
cheap video like Radeon 7200 or such (small kids gaming only) -(purchase)
Aopen NIC (on--hand)
40 gig WD 7200 ATA100 or higher HD (purchase)
Windows 2000 OS
Antec case with 300 W P/S (purchase)
Recycle some old parts from old PC's like CD drive, modem etc
I'm guessing for about $200 - 250, I could build her a computer that "feels" super fast compared to her current rig. What do you think of this option? She only uses this computer for web surfing, email, word processing and small childrens games.
