I am in need of an upgrade of my computer. Since I switched from Win 98 to Win XP things have slowed down considerately. I have an AMD 500mhz processor now with 384MB of Ram. I took it to a shop and they wanted $500.00 to upgrade to the slowest Pentium 4 available. I think that's a lot, especially when you don't even know exactly what they're putting in. I have installed a CD Rom drive, a zip drive, a floppy drive, a hard drive (with help from technical support) a modem, and a sound card in the past. My only hesitation is not knowing how to setup a new motherboard and cpu. I don't think it's that hard to do but I'd hate to get stuck with a computer that I can't use (Temporarily). Has anyone ever done this? How hard is it? Where can I find information on how to do this? ~*~*~*~*~ Was this forwarded to you? Want to subscribe?
