Nice computer you got there. It may have served you well over the years you had it, but I think we both know that it is time to buy a new one. My suggestion is to not upgrade it, and purchase a new computer. You can find great deals on used and new PCs all over the web. Here are a few good sites to find computers/upgrade components: www.newegg.com www.bestbuy.com www.dell.com Buy something with at least 1GB of RAM, a dual-core processor of at least 2.0GHz, and at the very minimum a 128MB video card. Make sure the motherboard also has an extra PCI-E/PCI slot for future upgrades. If you want a real beastly gaming/fast machine, you gotta shell out around 800$. Find one with these specs: 2GB RAM, dual-core is fine, quad is better most of the time, motherboard with at least 2 PCI-E/PCI slots, and a 256-512MB video card.
