if you're gonna use it for gaming the best processor is AMD plus with a best performance combination of epox motherboard...

AMD for gaming maganda talaga pero kung epox ang mobo mo sayang lang hindi maganda pang gaming ang epox. Recommended ko pa rin ang MSI mobo + AMD processor.

Yung apat na Epox ko pumuputok ang capacitor hindi kaya ang init compared sa MSI na oven tested.

i've had epox boards give up on me too. a slot a (yung amd processor na mukhang cartridge) board and a socket a epox board gave up on me just a little over a year (very convenient for warranty purposes) of use. switched to gigabyte, dfi and msi boards and my pc's have been running smoothly ever since.

pls post the current specs of your pc and the programs/games that you're planning to run and are currently using.

I have a feeling the upgrades jonski have in mind are mainly component upgrades which makes knowing what he already has even more important.

Anyway right now, the unquestionable best bang for the buck cpu right now is the Intel Core 2 Duo.

I bought my AMD X2 4200+ in 2005 when the X2 was the top mainstream cpu. If I was assembling a new pc right now, it'd be a Core 2 Duo.

I suspect p4 po yong pc mo sir?

magkano po ba budget mo sir?

ok nman yong 256 + 512 ram upgrade mo.. 512 is 2.5php

pero para sakin sagad ko nalng sa 1g pra malakas talaga..

so 1G + 256 ok nayan. 1g is below 5kphp.

Video card 256 with 128bit nice na din to for gaming .. ATI or NVIDIA agp series below 3000php

Hard disk sir plug and play na po ito.. what size ng hdd gusto mo sir ? dapat slave sya ng master mo.. format mo nlang yang bago na hdd like a diskette .

maganda din yun portable pero nasa sayu na iyon..

total gastos 8kphp without Hdd.

halos whole new PC na rin yan.

By going Intel Core 2 Duo, you'll need a new motherboard with it. Probably new dual-channel DDR2 RAM (2 GB recommended for Vista). Along with that, you'll do well to get a new power supply unit. To get the most from the cpu, you'll need to pair it up with a modern graphics card.

peripherals like I/O drives, hard disks, sound cards, LAN cards can be re-used, and of course the ATX case and monitor and input devices as well, pero relatively minor/inexpensive components ito compared to the guts of the system.

I'd wait until jonski gets back with his actual pc specs for the video card and ram portions of his upgrade.

The hard drive he can upgrade since he's familiar with slaving the drive (IDE).

Just a minor caveat.......

Depending on the age of his version of XP, the earlier ones may have a hard time recognizing large partitions, hence large hard drives.

I have the very first version of XP Pro Upgrade from Oct 2001. It won't recognize any partition greater than 40gb. I had to use an included utility (retail boxed hard drive) to get the full capacity. Just something to keep in mind if he decides to install his XP on the new hard drive.

If he's got XP SP2, then he's fine.
