TechnoEthicist:
Hard to believe it's been 5 years, and its time for an upgrade already...but when the computer keeps randomly shutting down, you know things aren't looking good...You can only replace video drivers so many times...

Current Specs:
Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB Video Card
AMD Athlon XP 2700+
1.5 GB RAM -Corsair I think
Realtek Onboard Sound
250 GB IDE HD- Main
120 GB IDE HD- Backup
120 GB SATA HD- Extra
19" Samsung LCD
3 70 mm fans- about 3inch wide, might be 90mm
400 W Power Supply

What is an adequate upgrade that will last me another 5+ years?

Joshadn:
What OS do you plan to use?

TechnoEthicist:
Sticking with my copy of XP Pro  ;D

Joshadn:
ok then for Ram go with still with 4k be on safe side or go with more then that. I have seen comps with 8k in Ram

WHAT?!?!!?   No Photon Torpedos or Modulating Phasers?  How do you expect to survive in the Gamma Quadrant, verbal judo and diplomacy?   ::)



Godspeed,
Mike

btw, I'm starting to have that random freeze thing happen with my 5 yrs old. Might be time for me to upgrade also. Nah, I'll just keep using the anti-static spray and keep Ol' Bessie rumbling along.
