hey i have some verry old pc-s and i'v decided to recycle them so i am upgrading them to the max so fare all is going well and im on my last pc so fare i upgraded my hp brio 883xx desktop pc
From
32mb ram to 128mb 133mhz
from 1mb to 8mb to ????
from cd rom to DVD-CD-rw
from 1.7gb harddrive to 6.4gb
from empty pci slot to LAN CARD :P
and so on
the only thing left is the cpu and the GPU
the cpu ok no prob
but i never tried installing a nvidia geforce card on an old machin like this
but i HAVE done it on my p3
i upgraded from onboard 1mb vga to 64mb Nvdia geforce4 460MX 64mb AGP card
so can i do the same with my celeron ?

If it has an AGP slot of the correct bandwidth and voltage I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

I do have to question the point of this. You're upgrading this machine from "entirely obsolete in every way, shape, and form," to "entirely obsolete in every way, shape, and form, but it can run Windows 98 without dying now."
