We need to know the Mobo, socket size, current RAM, Processor, GPU, HDD, OS, etc. Any PC until ~2003 is really not worth upgrading, because chances are, the technology is obsolete. I'd sell them and buy a new PC.

If you're in to Windows 98se and old games they could be a fun project *points at sig*. Other than that, not really worth wasting the money on.
