Been away from desktops for a few years now but have just aquired a Packard Bell tower and plan to upgrade slowly.All opinions welcome.
The specs are pentium 4 3.06ghz,nvidia 6200LE 64mb pci-e and 512mb dimm ddr2.
First i need to get a monitor and was looking at something like:http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/sto...ory_oid=-35052
The memory will also be changed.Currently it has a micron 512mb dimm ddr2(according to sisoft sandra check) and i need some recommendations as the options are vast.According to sisoft the board can take upto 4gb of memory.
Did see this:http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/539982...y/Product.html
Does Win XP only see 3.2 GB of ram even if 4GB is fitted.Remember seeing something like that but cant remember where.
I plan to start out with older games so hopefully the graphics card will be able to cope in the short term.
Fire away with advice and links.
