My moms computer runs super slow.
The current processor and memory is as follows-
1.6ghz intel northwood pentium4
two 256mb sticks and one 512mb -1gb in total-
Anyways I have been considering either upgrading this computer or getting a new barebone and starting over.
The upgrade would be around $60. And that would be upgrading the R.A.M. to two 1 gig sticks -2gb in total-
The other option -barebone- would cost about $250 but then I now I wouldn't have any problems except getting her to switch over to it.
If you could tell me what would work better I would much appreciate it.
Oh and it is currently running windows XP home if that helps at all.

Also I have a 2.1ghz intel northwood processor that I have tried to install in it but it got all jumpy when I installed it. I know that it is compatible from the motherboard specs. If you have any idea about this I would appreciate it so much.

Sorry for making this so long of a question.
Thanks in advance!!
