upgrade the ram to 512 or 1gig first
upgrading the cpu depends on the m/b and the bios may need flashing to recogise later cpu's

To upgrade or not to upgrade that is the question
Hi,
I have a 5 year old Tiny computer, it has a Pentium4 1.38GHz and 256MB ram.
It's a bit slow but is now not the main computer in the house, but i would like to know if it's worth upgrading, i know i would have to find out more info on the spec to get an accurate answer but if you could give me an idea i would be greatful.
I think i have DDR ram, and know it's easy to upgrade that, but what about the CPU, how far can i upgrade and is it simple i.e. plug and play.
the main reson for upgrade is it's slow at copying DVD/cd's and slow if you us to many things at the same time? it wont be used for gaming.
Also where's the best place to buy, i have looked on ebay and is it worth going for secondhand bit's? or is some where like Maplan beter?
Thanks
