I could probably spend hours doing research and get answers to all my questions, but who has the time? So......
I need some guidance. I have an HP 9870 desktop that I purchased new in '02. It's a P4, 1.3gig. running ME; big tower with a couple free drive bays and pci slots. I only used it for a year or so because I bought an XP laptop late '03, and the HP has been in moth balls since. With my interest in a desktop renewed, is it worth putting money into the HP?
I'd like to run Vista. not a big gamer. probably no big applications. basically web brousing, email, a little imaging. This machine has 128mb RDRAM, but is expandable to a gig. Maybe upgrade old USB to 2.0? new sound and graphics? What else?
Please go to the HP link below for full specs and thanks in advance for your repies.
