hey again all!
Bloody what a response! okay a year a go i did take out all the internals of my pc and put it into a new case withclear window and neon fans etc! so not a total novice! but still easily confused! haha heres what i have as a current rig
dell dimension 2400
pentium 4 processor 2
2.4 ghz
333mhz memory
756mb ram
45 gb hard drive, used for windows xp(the original hard drive)
200 gb hard drive, i added this for music and films
then 2 dvd rewriter drives
its just all seems to be running a little slow! so would replaceing the motherboard and processor be the right course of action?
budget im not to bothered about, allthough keeping costs down is a priority!
oh and im in the uk

Big question... what size is your case? Will it hold an ATX board, or in other words, does it have a few inches of space open below your Dell motherboard?
Also, are you just wanting to update your mobo/CPU, or are you wanting to get a graphics card as well?
If you only want to update your mobo/CPU, grad a socket 939 mobo and CPU, preferably one with an NVIDIA 6100 or 6150 chipset. If you are wanting to get a GFX card, you will need to upgrade your PSU as well.
I'll let some of the others crawl around on Scan or some other UK site, though.

wooha ddint realise about the graphics card!! well there is a couple of inches os space below my current dell mobo! so an ATX would fit?
whats the diffrence? well for future referance lets do it with a board that i can upgrade my graphics card on! as that will probably happen next! what do i need to look for now?
