Upgrading !

[^I'mWithStupid^]

I've been considering my options and building a brand new one isn't one right now. I'm stuck with a daggy PC which was bought at a retailer about 4 or so years ago (1.5GHZ, 256 SDRAM (2x128, 32MB TNT2 M64 <- )
I've found my mobo stats from CPU-Z:

MOBO

Manufacturer: Hewlett Pakard
Model: Dublin
Chipset: Intel | i845 Rev. A3

BIOS

Brand: Pheonix
Version: 6.00
Date: 09/21/2004

GRAPHIC INTERFACE

Version: AGP Version 2.0
Transfer Rate: x4 Max. Supported: x4
Aperture Size: 64 MBytes
Side Band: Disabled

---------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I was thinking of getting something of the likes of this:

512SDRAM (can I get DDR? with that mobo?)
ATI 9250 (Support that too?)

What do you guys reccomend? And what could that mobo support.. I can make out some things but, the rest, nyuh.

It'll be cheaper to get a new mobo and ram.

im not sure but i recon your mobo will only suppoty pc133

also how good is the ATi 9250? because i have a NvidiaGF FX5200 you can have for AU$40 with postage to Vic if you want

GX Card too... I didn't say i'm not going to be gaming.

Yah, the RAM currently in their is 133mhz, so you're probably right. And about the nVidia card; most likely no. But is the 9250 able to be in their with that mobo?

upgrading won't help at all

you either get a new computer, or save up for one

Please explain

 

[Simon]

its agp and your mobo is agp.

but your mobo is agp 2x and the 9250 is agp 8x usally they run a lower APG speeds no problems.

9250 is not very good

Dang... Any nice cheap mobos I could get>?
