It's been awhile since I've bought anything for my computer. I currently have an xp2200+ and 512mb ddr. If I were to upgrade to an Athlon 3000-3500 or so, new board, and new ram, would there be any noticable difference? I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything. I only play a game or so in a long time. So as for being regular use and slight video encoding, do you think it would be worth the purchase? Thanks for any inputs.
