My system is desperately needing an upgrade at the moment it stands at:
K6-2 500
Basic crap old MB
256 Mb Dimms
20GB Seagate HD
Voodoo 5 5500
Soundblaster 128
52 Panasonic CD-Rom
Sony 8x4x32 CDRW
2xNetgear 10/100 NIC
19" Samsung Monitor
I've got 3 other comps sharing the cable modem through a LAN, the network works fine but I want to upgrade this computer to a decent spec.
I'm looking at the moment:
AMD Socket A T-bird 1.4 GHz OEM 266MHz CPU
Cooler Master CPU-Fan Socket A/7/FCPGA EP5-6I11, Up to 1,4GHz.
DDR-DIMM PC2100 256MB DDR CL2.5 Memory 184-P (for DDR-PC266MHz)
MSI K7T-266 PRO-R Mainboard for Socket A VIAKT266, ATA/100,RAID, sound, ATX, DDR ????? (does anyone know of this motherboard?)
This coming in a bundle for £254
Full Tower Case
Possibly:
Western Digital Caviar 40GB IDE 7200RPM
Lite-on 16x10x32 CDRW (replacing old CDRW)
Panasonic DVD (replacing old CD-Rom)
What would I realistically need to upgrade to give me decent speed whilst still value for money, is my Voodoo 5 going to hold back the system? Any recommendations of what I should get for under £400?
