so now i was just wondering what kind of new hardware am i able to put on this old mobo without making a bad choice
I already bought 2 of these RAM:
256MB PC100 CL2 3.3V SDRAM 168PIN (32X8)
"
FOUND INFORMATIONS ON INTERNET:
hxxp://www.memorydepot.com/details.asp?id=SDR100X64C2/256/H"
i believe they should work fine on it ...i still have the manual
"
Memory Support:
°Three DIMM slots for 3.3V SDRAM 168-pin memory modules.
°Support for 66MHZ and 100MHZ memory bus.
°Maximum installed memory can be 3 x 256MB = 768MB"
:4-dontknoTough choices are certainly the Hard Disk/Video Card:
WD 80GB 7200RPM ATA100 8MB

GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR
