Hey guys,
My mom has an old Dell Dimension 4300S, and it runs like a snail. I wanted to upgrade a few parts just to get some more speed out of this puppy. What would you guys recommend? Right now, it has a 1.6 GHz P4, and I believe it's Socket 845....something I hadn't even heard of until I found a site with the specs.
Also, kind of a noobish question, but let's say I got her a whole new mobo and processor, but tried to keep the same HD. Would I be able to just reconfigure everything, but then have it boot and run exactly like it had before? I know my mom, and she's not going to want anything to look at all different. Thanks, guys!
