Canith

the CPU i am using is a P4 2.5a with a 300w power supply

if i have to get a new motherboard, i am afraid that i have to get a new CPU as well, coz the CPU i am using is a P4 2.5a socket 478, from the webpage below, i couldn't find any mother board that can spport both 478pin CPU and PCI-E at the same time. http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?d...md=pl&id=MB.575

Also, i would reccomend keeping your eye out for 512mb of ram, it should be cheap enough to find and should definatly help EDIT: or another stick of 256mb so that it adds up to 512mb, seeing as it seems your only using 1 RAM slot you should have 1 or 2 free slots to put some more into. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ok, thx for ur info by the way, i still have 3 more free ram slots left(1 ddr, and 2 sdr) if i am going to buy a new ram to run dual channel, do i need to aware of its speed and size??? do i have to get a 256 PC2100??? or any others are fine?? sry for asking so many questions~~

can my comp support an ati x800xl 256 agp??

??anyone can give me some advice???

sooo, can my computer support this one?? or which company's ram will u guys suggest http://www.canadacomputers.com/cc/index.ph...965ac0a0385edb6

this is the info of my motherboard

You could start by saying what computer it is... :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the computer i am using is a P4-2.5G

i want to buy some new ram can any one tell me how to check what ram fits my computer (the only thing i know is that i am using ddr ram)

i know it's the 2nd generation of centrio, but like, what is it, what does it do?

is it some kind of chip??

k, thX for the info

ooooo, see it, thank q guys now the second question is will PCI Express quickly replace AGP? coz now i am not sure if i should just buy an AGP graphic card, or buy a new mother board and a PCI Express graphic card. any suggestions of which card to buy??

i am currently using a 2 year old computer with on-board graphic. since i cannot play many 3D games with it, so i am planning to buy a new graphic card, yet i am not sure what kind of slot my computer has. can anyone tell me how to check it. if it is PCI, can it support an AGP graphic card??
