Hi everyone
I am trying to upgrade my system to boost the performance but I am not sure how to go about.
My system specifications are :
My Processor: 500MHz Intel Pentium III
32 Kbytes primary memory cache
256 Kbytes secondary memory cache
Main Circuit Board: Gigabyte i810 1.3A
Bus Clock:100 MHz
BIOS:American Megatrends Inc 2.0C 11/17/99
Memory Modules: Slot '0' has 256 MB
Slot'1' has 256 MB
Bus Adapters: Intel82801 USB Universal Host Controller
Display: Intel(R)82810 Graphics Controller{Display Adapter}
Packard Bell PBN PNP A520 (Monitor)
HD 10GB.
I would like to replace the motherboard,Hard disc,I would like a cheap dedicated graphics card and would like to increase the memory to 1GB.
The things I would like to know are, do I have to replace the power supply as well, can I use the existing case,do I need to change the fan,can I use the existing cables.
I am aware of Mobo,CPU and RAM have to compatible,what else has to be compatible.
I am sure many of you have done it before and I would very much appreciate your help and advice.
I will do more reading about these things and when I am ready I will commit myself. By the way I am operating Gutsy in this machine,I would like to give this machine to a museum one day until then I have to look after it.
Thank you in advance.
