Hey everyone, sorry for intruding here...just browsing google and thought this might be the best place (Tried another forum too, so I can get a good diverse opinion).
I decided I wanted to renovate an old computer for use in my room, since im still a student ive not got the biggest budget...but a birthday coming up should do nicely
My Current System Stats:
Processor: AMD Athlon
CPU clock: 999.2mhz
Level1 Cache: 64+64kb (data+instr)
Level 2 Cache: 256kb
Motherboard :
Asrock k7Upgrade-600
Memory:
2*256mb (PCI2100 + PCI2700)
Storage:
1*Floppy (1.44mb)
1*HDD (Maxtor- 160gb)
DVD drive *2
The all important graphics card!
Geeforce FX 5200 with 128mb
Operating System is Win XP Home SP2 (Will get Vista after this upgrade )
Heh, now that thats over with, I'll tell you some things that might help make things clearer:
Im looking for a fast processor, definetely an Athlon and probably an Athlon 64 of some kind, as things are my Motherboard wont support Athlon 64's so im probably looking for a motherboard change too.
So what im really looking for is a new Motherboard, a new Fast Processor, and some 512mb RAM.
Thats initially, as i save up some more money I will gradually add a much better graphics card for my gaming (I love gaming) and another HDD.
I can probably fit it myslef with help from some online tutorials (or..if ive not annoyed you guys too much...this forum ) so its really the correct components.
Thanks in advance
