Hi guys,
I have a OLD PC that I found and would love to max this out and see what it can do for as cheap as I can.
The moherboard is a:
IWill KA266-R Ver1.3
I think the CPU is a 1.2ghz AMD but I am not 100% sure as I have not found where to find this info (Dumb i know )
I only have 256MB of ram which is PC2100 DDR SDRAM Dimm inside of it.
I also have a OLD GFX card which is a Nvidia 32MB (It has AM64E1T-32M on the back) I have no idea of what it is.
I also have a basic audio card which I think is broke as I can not get a mic to work on it (For VOIP)
Apart from that it is all basic stuff.
I would like to max the ram which I think can go up too 3GB but I am not sure of which to buy....
I would also like to use the AGP slot for a nice cheap gfx card and maybe have a nice audio card for the PCI.
it will be using Ubuntu ot Xubuntu depending on how they run... I have Xubuntu on it now and it runs nice... But I would love to just see how cheap I can make this run and max it out.
Also maybe a nice silent PSU as the one I have make a lot of noise and that is a ST-350ATX.
One main thing I need to upgrade is the Hard Drive which I ripped out of a 486 which is only 4.5GB in size
I have ordered a Wireless Wifi card which said it works fine with linux. This cost me £15 and is all I have spent so far.
I also have a CRT Compaq P75 which is fine I think... For now anyway.
If anyone can help me on things I should buy and spec of things it would be great!
Thanks for reading, Da
