If u want USB 2 u need another motherboard. Get a P4 CPU. If the cd burner works ok now keep it, when u replace the mobo. Extra ram will help it. Or just keep the cd, the hdd, the floppy biff everything else. And either get an AMD or P4 mobo, and get DDR, another videocard, and either a P4 or AMD CPU. |

| 406451 | 2005-11-22 08:43:00 | It really depends on what type of role that the computer is going to play. If you are a hardcore gamer, no doubt more RAM and a better graphics card would help. If you are just a normal home user (i.e. type documents, surf the web etc.), then there isn't a need to get expensive graphics card. Cheers :) |
