EDIT: RAM should not be needed, since thats a part ill be salvaging out of the broken comp

 

huh what are you asking?

 

If any1 can recomment some good parts, like a graphics card that meet that

 

what are the details of your current setup?

 

Umm one min, i must have copyed wrong URL,

Ill write the whole down in a min

My Specs now

2 Processors Running - Genuine Intel® CPU 3.06GHz

1.6Ghz

479.5 RAM (Will salvage from other comp soon)

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Genuine Copy now)

Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver (WDM)

71.4GB Hard disk

Toshiba CD/DVDW SDR5372V SCSI CdRom Device

 

can you download cpu-z and take a screenshot of the first tab and the mainboard tab. Also you may not be able to take ram from your old pc, it may be different.
whats your budget.

 

Ok, ill look on the RAM manufacturers site later and see if i can use in this comp
Hmm my budget, It depends on how much i get for the next Sale i have, so its 500 or less i think

First http://ho5t.us/uploads/c9946596f7.png

Mainboard http://ho5t.us/uploads/40f3e39cf4.png

Seems to be mostly A Graphics Card i need, Does Newegg deliver to the Uk btw?

EDIT: Just a little question why does
2 Processors Running - Genuine Intel® CPU 3.06GHz
mean?, do i have 2 CPU's?

 

get a new motherboard, proc and ram. Rambus is overpriced.

what is your budget?
for 300$ I'd say:
go to fry's get the 80$ sempron 2600+mobo combo,

then online get a gig of DDR400 ram, and get an x800GTO PCI-e

trust me, that P4 is crap only has SSE1, uses EXPENSIVE RAM which must be used in pairs, isn't very expandable etc. you'de need a new motherboard to use a new GFX card and that P4 wouldn't work on any new mobos.

===========================
EDIT: WTF? ignore that, is your comp running at 3.06 ghz or 1.6. there are three diferent possibilities, williamette, northwood, and prescott.

 

i Dont know, I think its 3.06, it was my uncle that made it and hes on holiday so..... Dont know how to find out either

 

Why have you underclocked your processor? I had a look at the cpu-z screenie.

 

i dont even actully know what that means lol, Umm is it bad? and if yea, how do i fix

 

underclocking is where you run it below it's stock value. I wouldn't call it bad or anything as it's undoable, but it's best to run at the recomended value or higher.

as for running CPUz... google is your friend.

^he already ran cpu z and he has his pc clocked half of what it should be.

 

were it says its running at 1599 MHz?
Well if u look a little furter down theres an Arrow at CPU#1 that goes to CPU#1 (Logical Unit), Maybe its 3.06 with both of them, since that screen only shows doesnt it

 

i have never seen some one take half of their clock speed away.

firsts for everything o.o
