More RAM, and a reasonable priced video card, less than $150, would give the most bang for the buck. I wouldn't spend anymore than $300 upgrading, and save up till you you can buy a complete system. i do have another case it is about 4 years old but it is a compaq presario 6000 |

I concur. Either is a expensive big upgrade or else just do the RAM and vid card and live with it. To answer you question about salvaging parts. Generally, you can salvage all the DVD/CD Drives, hard drives and floppy drives. Maybe a modem if you have one and any cards you may have on PCI cards like firewire, sound (like a good brand like sound blaster). Does it have a AGP slot? If it has no AGP slot on the motherboard then you have to get a new motherboard and then you have to determine if your current case and PSU can support that. |
