    I have this computer as well

    http://www.fryssupport.net/gq5090.cfm

    my friend is going to give me 2gb of ram ddr3

    i have

    ati radeon x1300 512mb agp
    nvdidia geforce fc5200(i think) 128mb agp
    and another nvdia 129mb pci-e

    should i rebuild my old computer?

    theres only one problem the bios doesnt show up on display, i think the motherboard graphics are fried would it matter?

    so i should end up with

    2.67 ghz possible 3.0 with overclock
    512mb agp
    2gb of memory

    sounds worth the try??

    any help/suggestions would b greatly apprciated

    this is my last thread it shows my other computers just fyi...

    ummm as far as your motherboard BIOS not showing up ... thats prolly not a good thing homie .... the bios is an essential part of your comp and alot of the functionality comes from being able to edit that.

    I doubt it is worth the try. Any modern grahpics card would be handicapped largely by the very, very, very slow Celeron CPU. Your motherboard offers no recent upgrading possibility for the CPU (Socket 478 is outdated by two platform generations!) and you do not have a PCI-Express expansion slot for recent graphics cards.

    You should invest into a new computer instead.

    You confused me. What are your current system specs, and did you already play Starcraft 2 on this computer?

    I am going to close this thread. Please continue this conversation in the first thread that you posted eSpitfire. There is no need for two different threads on the same topic (your computer).
