[QUOTE="KnowTheToe, post: 1010124, member: 1961"] Ok my computer is getting a little out dated. I am using a 500 MHz Athlon Processor, last year before I bought the game NWN I bought a new GeForce graphics card, I can't remember which one, but it can be transferred to the new system. My sound card is older, but I can't think of any reason not to keep it. What I am looking to do is get a new MB, RAM, and a hard drive. I have not filled my 8 Gig drive, but I still think it would be a good idea to replace it. I would also like to get windows XP and possibly a new copy of MS Office Small business. I went to Pricewatch.com and found a processor 7VA-C GA-7VAC ,VIA KT333 Chipset, 1 AGP, 5 PCI, 2 USB, ATX, Audio, 333FSB , 184pin DDR333 + with cpu - ATHLON XP 2600+,2.13GHZ 333MHz, AX2600DMT3C w/ Heatsink & Fan, complete combo set. RAMM Kingston Technology 2 ea. of KINGSTON KVR333X64C25/256 256MB PC2700 DDR333MHz Memory LIFETIME WARRANTY KVR333X64C25/256,256MB DDR-333MHz DDR PC2700 pc 2700 pc-2700 DIMM CL2.5 Form Factor: DIMM. Hard Drive Western Digital 40.0GB EIDE, 7200Rpm, 2MB,8.9ms (OEM, WHITE LABEL , 8 Months Warranty) Compatible with 45.0GB 40.0GB EIDE, 7200Rpm, 2MB, 8.9ms (OEM). SAME DAY SHIPPING. These Three components should be approx $285. Is there any other hardware I should consider? Do you see any issues with the above configuration? Where can I find cheap software (XP and Office)? Any suggestions on other hardware are also welcome :) [/QUOTE]
