That is a link to the PC I have, I want to put in a P4 instead of the celeron I have but i don't know if I can so if anyone knows if this is possible please let me know. I also want to get a video card cause the one I have is the one that came with the pc, I want to be able to run the latest games even if it is at the lowest settings. I don't have a buttload of cash to spend so I will be looking on ebay probably for an older card that can handle todays games.....any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Woody

looks like your mobo hasnt got a agp slot (according to the link) so youd have to go for a pci one and the max fsb for it is 400 so getting ne thing over that would be a waste of money

good luck

pci cards are quite hard to get hold of nowadays, but it is possible with a low end card. if i were you i would get a new motherboard with an agp slot on it and a radeo 9600xt which are not that expensive

pretend I have no idea what you mean :) :wavey: what is FSB and if I were to get a card with the 400 would it play and of the newer games? I'd like to get a new MB but I have no idea how to install it nor do I trust any of the retards shops around here to open up my PC :saywhat: .
