Hi!
I'm a new user here, and I found a lot of helpful information when I browsed through the forums. Anyway, I was hoping I could get some advice on upgrading my computer. The computer I have right now is a P2 400. It's at least 5-6 years old, and I really want to upgrade. I'm looking for the biggest bang for my buck and any help would be appreciated.
I've been researching a little bit and looking at recommendations and I've come up with the following:
Case: ?
Processor: AMD XP 2700
Motherboard: Athlon XP Motherboard: MSI K7N2-L (nForce2)
RAM: 2x256 DDR RAM
Video Card: Radeon 9500 Pro or Asus V8420S Ti4200
I only have a general knowledge about computers, so I hope this doesn't sound too confusing. My CD ROM is a NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:28B. I think it's 16x. I also have a 12GB 7200RPM Hard Drive. Do I need to upgrade those too? I'd rather not and use the money for the rest of my computer if possible.
