It's not bad, but if you're a gamer looking for more frames/sec, you may want to consider a graphics card that supports SLI(scalable link interface, it allows you to hook up two graphics card to share the load).\n\nHowever, the motherboard will also need to support SLI.\n\nBut, otherwise, that video card should be just fine.

it will still depends on how you will use it..\n\namd single core or athlon 64...\n256ram for office works + some 3d games OR\n512 + ram for gaming purposes..\n64 - 128 video card...\nany sound card will do...unless using it as a digital amplifier...\nthen use windows..\n\nafter few months new hardwares are up again but still they wont make much of a change....\n\nhave some anti-spywares or antivirus for safety...\nxtra securty softwares like for LOCKING your hard drive..

Just get the installation CD and reinstall from scratch.  It will be a faster and healthier computer with a fresh installation.  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Well I think that ok, they are coming out with a new windows, but the minimum req. are a bit much. Some people have to go out and buy a whole new pc for it. I am safe because my new pc is Vista capable. But I do not know if just because it meets the minimum req for it, that it will run slow. So i have to buy a whole new one with better features so it can have better speed or something.

it is up to you .. if you work on graphics or games.. or just for work like Excel or Word.. it depends on what you need.. if you need somthing for games or graphics then you will have to bring a good pc in good performance.. actually i can't tell you what is good and what is not.. you will have to tell us the parts so we can be useful more to you

Windows 2000 and Windows XP should be fine if you not intent to run heavy program like gaming. But recommand you upgrade your RAM to 512MB, it make your programs run smooth.

Depends on what you do really. if you just use it for basic word processing, its probably not a big deal. but if you use it for more intense things such as development or gaming, then yes, its really time for an upgrade. The processor of the new model you mentioned will be roughly 3 to 4 times more powerful. Even more maybe since your computer is kind of old. Also look at RAM (memory) and you should get at least 512 mb 600 mhz. However, your computer way obsolete when it comes to power. But like I said, depending on what you do, it may not be an issue.

There is no such thing as newer computers - as you buy a "new pc" a different higher spec is on the market, e.g. CPU speed and RAM

Go to monarchcomputer.com or some similar website and configure a system from them for about $600 or so.  Pay attention to what parts are in there and then go out and buy those parts yourself, or as close as you can get.\n\nMost of them shouldn't be a problem, except perhaps the case, which varies depending on where you get your parts.  Good luck!
