wow! 64 ram??!?!

seriously i NEED to upgrade. so need to wait a bit for nu mobo and processor. but could i get more RAM and a new graffixs card before that anyway? and where could i get this all from?

are you just upgrading? using the same monitor and stuff? or just getting a completely new pc?

He's upgrading. Same monitor and ekyboard and mouse and speakers AFAIK. The innards are being replaced...

isn't there a point a pc can be upgraded to? or is he replacing EVERYTHING?

Not really. I think it just all depends on the motherboard "mobo".

o ok...cuz when i was looking in a Dell magazine it gave you a certain "upgradable" memory....ex. pc with 128 mb ram that can be upgraded to 516 mb.....get it?

all depends on ur mobo, get a new mobo and u shud be able to upgrade a lot of your other components.

kk i got it .....btw thanks for explaining hard disks and stuff....i never really got how it worked

IGW, that dell thing was wierd.

the memory upgradablity depends on the number of "dimm" slots on yer mobo.

for example 2 dimm slots, you could have

2x 128mb ram = 256 mb ram
1x 128mb ram = 128 mb ram
2x 512mb ram = 1024mb ram
2x 1gig ram = 2 gig of ram

and so the list goes on.

most mobos have 3 or so dimm slots these days, mine has 2


edit: had a big conversation with mcphee last night. We discussed alot.

the upgradablily of yer mobo is really the key, th enew processors are like 400mhz + fsb, so if ure comp is old like his, the newer processors wont work in it.

like my celeron mobo wont really take a p4 even though its an intel board.

oo ok....so you could take the 128 out and put two 516's in..

backt o scquelchy....
he might have to get a new motherboard too?
how much are those?

Not that much at all.

Oh and I advise u to get this card squelchy: http://www.savastore.com/products/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Savastore&product%5Fid=10268352&pid=1
I'm getting it. It's dirt cheap and of high quality! Especially when u consider that a usual 256MB card costs around £125

hehe, i c you like the card i found for you then pope!

BTW ppl if u wnt hardware stuff at gud prices just tell me and ill find some for ya.

well i got an idea im my mind of what i want. just comes to making sure it WILL work and getting the gear. and flick back a page igw, i want to get rid of most of the stuff in my PC

hey dreameater, what are the core and memory clock speeds in thaty card.
