| 289959 | 2004-11-10 18:01:00 | Sorry I forgot to post the current system specs: AMD Duron 1Ghz CPU 128MB PC133 SD RAM 20GB hard drive nVidia Riva TNT 2 M64 Graphics card 32MB Via onboard audio controller Windows XP Home. Interestingly enuff it HAD NO SP's installed and the system seemed quite ok, but ran really slow due to the low 128MB RAM in use. cheers chiefnz |

| 289960 | 2004-11-10 19:26:00 | why are you bothering to update a 1.0GHz Duron? I doubt a 50+ couple would do anything intensive enough to notice the difference between that and a 1.5GHz Duron. Spend the money on more ram, it will be far more noticable. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 289961 | 2004-11-10 19:35:00 | Ya,I would agree with what Pete said,Rather then a cpu just Whack as much ram in that beasty as you can buy,find,steal..... | metla (154) | ||
| 289962 | 2004-11-10 20:37:00 | Socket 462 & socket A are the same thing. My original thought, was that you had no CPU, and needed one to fit that MB. Not worth upgrading, unless you go up to at least a XP2200 (runs at 1800) I also put a new 7200 HD in and reasonable improvement in overall speed. Bye |

| 289963 | 2004-11-11 04:56:00 | Ok thanks for that guys. I was intending to increase the RAM to 640MB and upgrade the hard drive to 40GB 7200rpm Seagate drive. I've also applied SP2 and that seems to have helped a bit as well. cheers chiefnz |

| 289965 | 2004-11-11 07:23:00 | > I've had problems with Win98 & WinME using over 512mb Yes Win98 in standard form does not support more than 512MB... there is patch however to fix this problem. I"m not sure if the same is true for Win ME though. cheers chiefnz PS: incidently the Pavilion Pc is running Wind XP Home |
