I'm going to do an overhaul on my system by putting these components in:
SiS 661FX/ 964L Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 800mhz w/ 1mb cache
2 x Crucial 512 mb ddr/400
Nvidia Geforce FX 5900
A couple of questions for you guys who know the answers:
1. How am I going to get the windows xp I am using now to mesh with the components I want to put in.....will I have to buy a seperate retail version of Win to get it to work
2. Am not getting a new hard drive....do I need too? I currently am using a Western Digital 100gb that is approximately 1 1/2 yrs. old and has been very pampered, i.e. regular defrag/fresh windows install. Will the HD be fine or should I upgrade that to?
3. Is this upgrade going to give me the speed increase that I am hoping for? Am now using a
P4 2.0A gig w/400 fsb
2 x 256 mb Kingston
Geforce FX 5200 (non-ultra suck a$$ version)
Thanks JG
