Ok guys I am in need of some computer help.
We were just given a home computer but its a little out dated.
I am wondering if I add some ram and stuff if it would be worthy.
It is a HP pavillion xt973
Intel Celeron
128 mb ram
running windows xp
The most ram it can hold is 512 mb
I am thinking of adding (2) 256 Ram, a new dvd-rw drive, a new lcd monitor, and installing windows vista.
How hard would it be to add a bigger hard drive? how big can I go with this system?
Also would all this be cheaper and just as good as buying a $500 home computer from wally world?
Things I am going to use it for is basically just storing, viewing, and printing pictures and burning video.
Microsoft word and spreadsheet
Internet, uploading and downloading
little to no gaming.
Mostly just pictures and Internet.
