i am planning to upgrade my computer.
i currently have 1.2ghz amd athlon processor
i would like to upgrade it to a 2.0 or higher, how do i go about doing that, is there places to just add the rest or do i need to totally remove the full current processor and add a new faster one?
whats a rough cost of a 2.0 amd athlon processor? and how much would i get for my current processor?
is there limitation to the mother board for how high it can go, because i aint sure if it would handle 2.0mhz how would i find out?
secondly, i want to upgrade my 32mb geforce 2... to a 64mb geforce 4 (or 128)
but again, does it matter on the motherboard because i dont know if its made to go that powerful?
and finally i want to add a new harddrive but i want to be really careful when buying one.
my current harddrive is 40 gig, ive had it roughly 2 years and its still quiet as a mouse but i have a friend who has had his computer less than a year and you have hear his hard drive making alot of noise when its in use... kinda like a relly rough scratching sound or something.... well i dont want my new harddrive to start making noise after so long, so what should i lookout for when buying a new one?
thanx
