What upgrades do you need on your primary rig?

I really need to get rid of this XP Home OS and upgrade with XP Professional.

Also need to go from PC2100 to PC3200.

More RAM, an LCD and a faster video card.

I currently have 1GB RAM, a 19" CRT and a Ti4600 video card.

I currently have a pentium 4 1.6a Overclocked to 2.1ghz as my main rig...so thats ok for a while.
I'm starting to think In the next 3-4 months I'll be upgrading my 512MB of ram to 1GB and getting whatever is the best video card for around $200 (I have a geForce 4 Ti4200 128MB now). Other than that, I'm pretty much set.

Possibly a new sound card...

I'm maxing the processor from a 1.2 to an XP2400, arrived today :)
and other than a better video card for games of which I don't play, I don't really NEED anything
Maybe DSL hookup but then I'd be on the damn web tooooooo much.
Some upgraded SW maybe
Acad, MS money

Well, I don't need an upgrade, but I'd like to go from:

Radeon 9800Pro to Radeon 9800XT
Athlon XP 3000+ (400MHz) to XP 3200+



I have plenty of Ram (1gb)
I'd like another WD Raptor drive to run a RAID


I'd also like a 19 or 21" LCD monitor. I currently have a 21" Nokia pro that takes up half my desk.

Dedpuhl, I feel your pain....I too have that monitor, and it is a monster - though a beautiful one!

Honestly, the only thing I want to add in 04 is a DVD burner, I'm all set w/everything else...

P4 2.4c@3ghz, 9800 AIW, 1GB Ram, Audigy 2, Logitech Dinovo kb/mouse, Klipsch 5.1 Ultra's, X-Arcade single player, 52X CDRW, 240GB HD space, Coolermaster ATC101 Case...

Latest upgrade is in the mail...ATI Radeon All-in-wonder 9800 Pro. :)

Component out...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

bye bye Ti4200 (not that you were bad to me or anything).

But I could also really use some more disk space.
