What could I do to make it better...

[george2]

I have a 6 year old computer and I want to make it better. I can't buy a new one or make from scratch cause I don't have enough money and mum won't buy me a new one so what could I do with this...

Intel Pentium 233 mmx
512k pipeline burst PCI system
B5S2 SIS chipset with mmx technology
3.2 GB fujitsu hard disk
64 mb SDRAM 10ns
1.44 panasonic floppy disc drive
PCI IDE controller with fast serial ports
2 mb cirrus logic PCI graphics card
panasonic 24x cd rom
yamaha 719 3d 16 bit stereo card

in a c703 mini tower with ME

ok. so whats so bad about me. is it easy to put in yourself or should i get some one else to do it. how much ram should i get, how big should the hard drive be and would the computer be able to take it and what type of video card it would be great if you could explain this stuff thanx

 

[zoomtm]

hmm i think you should add 256mb more to your current 64mb
40gig should be good enough
the computer will take a pci video card
dont get anything higher than a radeon 9250 or geforcemx4000

well its pretty easy to do it yourself you will problay end up spending more for what you paid for the parts if u ask someone to do it

[george2]

[zoomtm]

[george2]

could ya possibly get me some links for australia if possible thanx
