Looking for suggestions for upgrade

[Ime]

I realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Since I was asking for upgrade suggestions for an entire system, it should be in the general hardware forum. I'd delete the post, but it won't let me. Sorry.

Get yourself at least 256MB of either DDR or SDRAM, 512MB would be best. Stick with the two hard drives you have. ATA/100 hasn't even broken the ATA/66 speed barrier yet. Get Cable or ADSL and get rid of that PCI WinModem/dialup. DVD and CDRW are good, CDRW may be a little slow but it does the job. Sound, SB Live!, well I'm mixed here. I would say keep it, but I really like my SB Live! 5.1 and if you like games that can produce DTS then you're gonna want a 5.1 card and a set of speakers like the Cambridge SoundWorks DTT2500 or Midiland 7100 5.1 Plus.

Processor and motherboard... that is a big debate there. I suggest a AMD motherboard and processor so you can keep cost down and save your money for that GF3 you want to buy and upgrade the sound card/speakers.

PM me if you want to discuss more. I've built several systems in the last year and have helped quite a few people spec and build them themselves.
