Finally Upgrading My Pc


Recommended Posts

Well, it's long-past due, but I'm upgrading my PC. Here's what I'm thinking of buying:

 

Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm ATA100 8MB WD800JB

Apacer 512MB 400MHz PC3200 CAS 3.0 DDR DIMM

Intel Celeron 2.8GHz (400MHz FSB) Retail Box & Fan

ASUS P4R800-VM Sock478 ATI9200IGP Dual DDR400/AUDIO/VGA/LAN

 

Any comments?

 

By the way, here are my current specs:

 

Intel Pentium 3 733MHz

256MB SDRAM

15GB HDD

 

This upgrade will be an improvement, no?

Nope, a Pentium 3 uses a socket 370 motherboard while a Pentium 4 uses a Socket 478, which is a whole lot smaller then the socket 370.......

 

K`dash :

 

Well, ever since the Celeron's core has been replaced by one similar to a Pentium 4, changed sockets to 478 as well and then upped the main bus to 150. (I think, but still too low compared to the P4's 300+ Mhz main bus...)

Yep, it will.... ^^

 

Umm... Wait.... There's an integrated VGA for that motherboard!!!?? O_O

GHz isn't always everything you know.

 

You can get an AMD 3200+ to do as good as a P4 3.06Ghz. Hellalotta cheaper too.
