Here are the specs on my computer. HP a705w Specs I just wanted to know what I can do to speed this computer up hardware wise that would be around $100-200? New processor? More memory? What can I do?
That should speed it up considerably. Just remove the old RAM and pop these in, it's a quick, cheap upgrade that will help a lot. I don't know if it would really be worth upgrading your processor...
Actually, you have PC2700 and if it messages at PC2100, then your memory you bough probable will be bottlenecked due to it. I'd suggest buying a low end Soket 775 motherboard and CPU.

ok, so his comp has prob been bottlenecked the time. itd cost too much than he mentioned to get a new cpu and mobo.hed probably have to get a new videocard too.
not nessisaraly. I'm more than willing to bet that the on-board will out do any pci card he might have installed after teh system was built (seeing as how he has no AGP) If he is using onboard video, then a new proc and mobo might be more cost-effective than just getting new RAM. Keeping in mind tho that odds are you would have to re-do windows for the different drivers with the motherboard.
