How can I upgrade this pc (all-in-one) if possible? ( and how does it rank?)?

Here are the specs:
computer is an MPC CLIENT PRO 434
Intel pentium d core duo clocked @ 1.6 Ghz each ( 3.2 Ghz)
system memory is two cards with 3gb total of ram
running dual intel(r)Q965/Q963 express Chipset family graphics cards.
17 inch screen flat panel creen
I am using another 16 inch flat panel as a secondary
And it has a 7.1 surround sound audio card as well (realtec HD audio).
80gb hardrive

There isnt alot out there regarding this PC. From what I can source it has dedicated graphics and the OP couldnt get 2 x GPUs to work.

By the looks of it, this PC is aimed squarely at small business rather than the enthusiast. It sounds like it would be a pain to try and upgrade anything in this machine.

Sorry I could not be more helpful.

The PC is made for simple home use like surfing, emailing etc. It's not made to upgrade.

I would have to disagree with that because I've played games like fallout 3 and Kotor 2 with fallout on low settings and kotor 2 on medium.

I stand corrected and I will amend my statement.
It is capable of light gaming but it was not made to be upgade friendly.

What do you think is the best custumizable pc for under $1000.

The BEST solution is your build your own. With a $1000 budget you can build a VERY nice PC.
First question would be, wha is the primary use for the PC?
This link had some suggestions in different price ranges and is a very good place to get some ideas.
