    Help Datajack upgrading his PC

    My current system is P3-700 128RAM 19GBHD

    What gives the best performances? Should I replace just the chip or is ram more important? Feel free to post some prices, as I haven't the slightest idea about what amount I'm going to invest (invest! in a computer! )


    Note that Datajack wants to go to Athens to see the olympics and has to buy the volleyball tournament tickets in may (in the country where Paiticakes lives... ) so he cannot spend more than 500€/$
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

    damn, everyone has a computer thread now!

    youre really better off just going for a total system makeover with everything except for the HD and CD drive. you probably can get a P4 system for 500 provided you do use your old things in tandem with the new.

      Buy as much RAM as you can or want to get for it. You should be able to get well over 1G (if not 2) with your €500.

        the question is though will his mobo support it? and it depends on what OS hes running also. if its 98se then he has a limit of 999.

            what kind of ram do you have? i am assuming it is SDRAM. i could actually sell you two sticks of 256 MB pc133 ram...for like 20 bucks a stick. that would boost performance to an extent.

            have you any experience building your own computer?

              I definitely don't want to mess with my computer as I still remember the time I overclocked my old Apple Macintosh (self-combust the very next day)

                well how are you going to go about upgrading your computer then? did you buy a nerd slave from india? you should consult the person doing the upgrade to your computer...

                personally id get a p4 2 ghz, an intel 845 mobo, stick of 512 ddr ram and win xp... that should weigh in at less than 500 bucks. and maybe a new power supply unit. that might push it to 550.

                  what's a mobo again?

                  and nope, I'm taking it to the guy who sold it to me and seeking his advice, just don't want to go there like a stupid

                    mobo=motherboard.

                    yeah, ask about a RAM upgrade, and a video card upgrade.

                          If you're running win98se, don't go for more ram then 256 as it is a complete waste and money. You could even get lower perfonce then you have now.

                          I still have an AMD 1400tb lying around here somewhere, interested?

                            It depends on what you want to do.

                            If you only play TBS, you don't need an upgrade, perhaps just add another 128MB RAM.

                            BTW, what is your graphics card?

                              My graphic card is a Voodoo3

                              Maybe I'll just add some RAM and replace the chip? What's the cost of a P4?

                              Datajack thanks you, you may now go as He needs to rest
