Hi moominboy.

Have a look at

Hope it's of some use to you.

 

I think the money you spend upgrading this would be better spent on a new pc or new mobo and cpu atleast. Just my own opinion of course.

 

You might want to price out building your own PC. You can learn a lot from building your own machine.

 

nah thats not the specs for my good one. i bought an old ibm to practise software and hardware stuff on, which has a pentium 2 and only a 5 gb hd and about 150-odd of ram. just looking for where to find out things like , socket numbers of mobo's,what it can handle number of pins for ram, etc.....

 

that's what im planning to do, i stripped the ibm and put it back together with no dramas but that doesn't really take much skill, and i even mucked that up by not pushing the cpu in properly!

i have been reading a few things on building but the variety of hardware is what is confusing me
