Looking to improve my system

[stratusdodge]

I'm looking to upgrade my old computer to something a bit more modern. My current PC has the following specs:

OS: Windows 3.1
RAM: 8 MB
CPU: Intel Pentium overclocked @ 123 MHz
Graphics Card: Blazing 4MB VESA Compatible
5.25 & 2.5'' Floppy Drives
Modem: Motorola 28.8K

Bought this computer only 17 years ago so I don't want to buy a whole new system. Any upgrade ideas? New Pro-cessor? Windows 98 is said to be faster and more reliable...can anyone vouch for this?

in order to upgrade those he would be pretty much be starting a new build.
Its best to start a new build, theres really no point in upgrading, it might end up costing more for the time and effort to find the parts that old.

That's old-school. It would be a smarter move to start a new build. A computer that old is very limited in upgrading potential.

This is a sad attempt at humour.

you've completely fooled me o.o anyways an ipod touch is better than that XD

Vista is actually decent, especially with SP1, assuming that your hardware is good enough to run it.
