    Ok, well today I was discussing gaming matters on aim.. making a signature and installing a font + browsing gr when my computer just locked up. I could move the mouse but for 30 min nothing would move. I restarted my computer (After getting mad and punching it lawl..) now it's broke. I need to fix my computer but I wanted some advice on a processor and stuff...

    Also how to get more ram currently my specs are

    800 mhz proccessor or somethin like that (wont boot up so cant look)

    and like 400mb ram..

    Soo what do i need to makes it faster..

    So are you asking what to get for a new computer?

    I would personally put the money towards anger management. ;)

    Ok..
    You need an upgrade :D
    Lets see..a minimum right here is:
    AMD Athlon 64 3200 $175
    1024mb Dual channel ram $100
    MoBo - $70-$100
    PSU - $45

    So thats about 420 bucks for those three...
    Remember if its for a gaming PC you will need a gfx card also..

    I just gave you mobo cuz if you are upgrading your processor well your current mobo probly isnt good enough and why not go for new RAM? :P ...and you probly will need a new power supply to power it all up...

    yeah you wont want to keep your current gfx card. But tell us your budget. However straight off my head for a budget gaming pc I would recommend -

    AMD 64 3200+
    ASRock Dual-SATA2
    1GB OCZ Value RAM (2x 512mb)
    Connect3D x800GTO
    120GB WD SATA HD
    Benq DW-1640
    Epower Puma II
    Generic Case

    That will cost around $600-700.
