Hi, I would like to upgrade my brother's old celery 300A computer, so
I'm thinking a Pent 4 mobo and chip and possible memory and case. I
can put it together but I'm not good with specifications.
Please recommend the above items that work together well!!!
I will be using his hard drives, cd roms, sb live card, video card,
and other items from his current celery 300A computer, I basically
want to get him going faster. He plays a few games but is mostly
learning to use the Internet and writing, drawing on the computer.
Thanks for everyone's help with this!!!
OK, the following from
www.newegg.com should work great. I haven't tried
the video card, but have used the other components to build two systems
recently. So I can confirm that the following components will work very
well, even for gaming. I threw a halfway decent video card into the mix,
because I strongly suspect that the video card that is in the celery 300A
system will NOT be compatible with any P4 class mainboard. (if it's AGP or
AGP 2X, it won't work. If it's older AGP4X it still might not work) -Dave
