My computer sucks like I really and truly don't know. Anywho here's what I'm getting to upgrade it to:
P4 Processor 2.0GHz
Seagate 80.0GB
e-GeForce4 MX 440 SE DDR SDRAM
Crucial Technology 256MB PC2100 DDR DIMM MEMORY





THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REPLIES

do not get an MX video card....

Do not just get 256MB memory

Get a GeForce4 TI 4200

Get at least 512MB memory.

Processor is good and the hard drive is good too.

What are your system specs as of now?

Do you already have a P4 motherboard?

you told me you have $500 to spend. I hope you didn't already spend it all. I upgraded from a 933 to a 1.8Ghz system for around $500.

And you have $500 left? If so, you probably should have gone the AMD route instead of the Pentium route.

If you can return your processor, I would do that.

Generally, those on a tight budget would opt for the AMD route.

When you get into the P4 world, it gets very expensive.

LMK if I can be of some assistance.

You bought 2 12 pacs of coke! Doh, just say no heh.

Sentrosi is great for upgrade advice. You will defintely stretch your cash going AMD route. So wherever you got the processor, send it back. Even if there is a slight restock fee.
