    Well, if u hav an Intel Celeron it must be a decent motherboard...soundcards aren't that important as long as u hav a decent one...and u also hav a decent hard drive

    No- theres no intel on this computer, these are two different computers we're talking about, the one above is the one that obviously dosn't work. Thats all the components it has.

    Oh...i see

    In that case, you will need to find a motherboard that suits your purposes

    Not many pepul memorize names of motherboards...look and see what each one is compatible with..for instance...if it can handle pentium 4 processor...its a good moboard

    How do I check if it's compatible with Pentium 4?

    EDIT: Oh, yeah, mine isn't compatible with pentium 4 :( is that the best CPU? If not, which is?

     I have a radeon9200 128mb graphics card. I recently saw this 256mb card at a very low price (134 canadian) and was wondering if it has any better performance. The word is that the 128mb cards and the 256mb cards have very little difference in performace, but i wanted to make sure because this is a hell of an offer i think.

    Ya...ive seen that card for sale around and I learned today that this one site sells it for $93.  Amazing deal so I'm taking in while it lasts.  It is better than any 128MB because it can hold more info at a faster transfer speed.  The site is somewhere recently in this thread.

    k about the cache

    see this is what it does..celerons are NOT for gaming because they only have 128

    that's the speed internet information goes out

    celeron=MAJORlag

    amd 2500, and amd2800+ however, have 512, that's 4 times the speed of internet information!

    p4's have the same 512...

    amd 54 bit processors have a full meg..and that's a hella lot

     I think i'll stick with my radeon 9200 and maybe just get another stick of memory. I've been anxiously trying to get my 512mb to a gig.

    well it matters on what type of ram you have

    it can range from $70-$150 depending on the type of ram for a 512 stick

    my ram costs $100 for a stick of 512...image
