Should I upgrade my computer or buy a new one?
-
I'm wondering if I should buy a new computer or just upgrade my old one. My old computer is a Windows XP SP2 AMD Sempron Processor 1.81GHz 512Mb of RAM (but when I check it says 384 Mb) As you can probably tell, it is pretty slow. If I keep my computer I will need more RAM and a better graphics card. But the thing is if I buy a new computer I will have the RAM and graphics card, along with Windows 7. Some other questions I have are: If you add RAM to a computer with specs like mine, will that make it noticeably faster? Also, would it be cheaper/easier to just buy a new computer than to get all these things for my old one? The reason I am doing this is because my computer usually can't play most games that require more RAM than I have (MineCraft etc.) They usually crash and it can also be very slow at times (usually when I log in/open a program)

Way too old,don't spend a dime on this
I've simply upgraded my RAM & PCU's in my (3) PC Desktops – all with XP SP3 OS's. In place of a P4 1.7 GHz/128/400 - 478 Socket, I replaced with a 2.8 GHz/512/400 - 478 Socket. Upgraded the RAM to 2 GB. XP is a very reliable OS. Windows 7 is still evolving. I would wait another year before investing in a W7 system/, If you are able to do this yourself; remove the side cover & locate the Motherboard's make & model number. Google Search. This will tell you the maximum GHz PCU & RAM your MB will support. It is a cheaper alternative to replacing the CPU & upgrading the RAM. Windows 7 is basically eye candy. My wife has a W7 laptop. Yes, there are a few more features, but I'm quite happy with my (3) XP Pro SP3 - all running at the same time. ÕÕ Ç ~
