Re: Upgrading PC What to get?

Well , really both. The pentium 4 and the radeon x series both should be upgraded , and could be done for under 300.

Could you post the model presario the computer is? It should simply say on the front of the tower. Presario 061 doesn't seem to be correct.

Re: Upgrading PC What to get?

If you could get pictures of the case, prefferable inside and outside of it, that might help

Re: Upgrading PC What to get?

Well I actually need to know either the model presario it was in or the exact make and model of the motherboard , this will help me determine what cpu you can upgrade to.
