Bringing my dad's computer out of the stone age

[Scouzer]

Current specs:

PIII 667EB
Geforce 3 Ti 200
256mb PC 133
250W PSU
20g Hard drive
16x DVD Drive

My thoughts

AMD Athlon XP 2500+
Soltek 75FRN2-L
80gb Seagate 7200rpm drive
ANTEC 300W PSU and Case
Salvage the Geforce 3 and DVD drive

And 256mb PC 2100 memory I have laying around I should really use anyway, even at the expense of speed for his system. I realize no upgrade to the video card, but the strategy games aren't really video benchmarks as they are CPU intensive. I think it'll hold him over for awhile. Sound good?

 

[wfbberzerker]

yup, looks alright.

might be nice to have 512mb of ram though, even if it is pc2100.

I'd also suggest keeping the smaller HD, for a dual-boot arrangement. Then if something makes the primary disk unbootable, just go into the bios setup and change the boot order.
