The specifications of his current computer are as follows: Pentium III 667mhz processor “Coppermine” FCPGA 128MB ECC RAM Abit Voodoo3 16mb 4x AGP video card Western Digital 20GB 7200rpm Ultra100 HDD Western Digital 5GB 5400rpm HDD Creative Soundblaster X Gamer Live Sony 3.5” FDD 48x CD-ROM Antec Case Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer v3.0 Sony 17” Trinitron Display .26dp (1024x768 @ 32bit, 85hz) Canon BJC-250 Printer Steve listed things he would upgrade to in order of priorioy: Windows XP 1ghz CPU 256 MB RAM ATI Radeon 8500 video card 19” CRT display DVD-ROM 24x CD-RW Since my friend has a good computer base, I see no need for a complete system overhaul. Certain components are using obsolete technology, but for his purposes, the most advanced technology is probably neither needed nor desired. My friend uses this computer for internet and school work primarily, with occasional low-demand gaming taking place.
