Acctually, I have some non-dell ram in it. My dad said we might get a new comp soon, I'm just looking for inexpensive ways to upgrade it a little...
ok well thats weird. Um yeah I would just save your pennies and get a brand new pc. When your parents get a new pc be sure to custom build and get an amd processor.
Yup... I'll prolly just convince him to get a comp with a (at least) 2.0 GhZ AMD processor, and 512+ Megs of ram, and 100+ gigs, because there is no way my dad will let me custom build... And can I still pull off all the stuff like using PS, and firefox, and Dreamweaver and such on a laptop?
Even if your dad wont let himself or you custom build at least go to a local pc store and show them the specs you want and let them build it. It will still be cheaper than getting a branded piece of turd.
Your gonna have to be a bit more specific, because that was like trying to get me to speak japanese...

You can salvage your old comp by just reformatting it. Install Windows 2000 which doesn't eat up to much resources. I still have my P3 1.0GHZ with 768Mb of SDRAM. I use it for my dump (downloading server). Also it hosts my mp3s.
When I get my new comp, I'm going to bring my old one to my moms, and basically rebuild it piece by piece...
try to not to get another prebuilt computer like a dell encourage your dad to let you buy a custom i got my computer (p4 3.2, 6600GT, 250gb hdd, dvd burner, gigabyte pro mobo, 350 watt psu, nzxt trinity) all for $950..and my computers pretty nice i bought my computer like 3 months ago, so it should be cheaper by now...
I'll neverbuy a dell. The only reason we got a dell, was because I didn't know the differece between computers back then. I'll definitly try to convince him to get the specs DeFuSioN gave me... Edit-And my 128 megs of ram is in the first Ram slot, so I have to change that with meh 256 meg...
