My current system:
- Is OLD
- AMD Athlon XP 1500+
- 2.5 GB Ram
- XP Pro
- 2 old GeForce Cards
- 2 old CRT’s
- IDE Disk Drives
I am having a few problems, and my system is slow. I am not a gamer. I do a little photo editing - cropping/printing (only when my wife makes me). I do quite a bit of database/spread sheet work. Do a lot of GeekU stuff too.
I would like to bring this old PC at least up to the year 2000.
What I was wanting to do is to replace the Mother Board and Processor and keep the Hard Drive. This has really turned into more than I wanted. I am currently saving up to do a complete build but I am not ready to do it at this time. I will use this computer as a 3rd string backup when I get my new one built!
I was hoping to do this without a reinstall of XP until I get some stuff backed up…
What I want is a cheap/good:
- Case
- Power Supply
- Mother Board
- Processor
- Memory
- Video Card/s
Trying to keep the price down….so I have more to spend later. It wouldn't take much to be a lot better than what I have!
Any Ideas?
