So.. I'm thinking in changing my pc a bit with 100$.
Suggestions?
Win XP Home Edition SP3
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHZ.
1gb ram ddr1.
Nvidia 5200FX.
Hard Disk 80Gb.
OBS: NO BENGAY JOKES PLZ.

You can probably get another gig of ram + a graphics card for under $100.
On new egg they sell 1gb for $20.

buy a 8800GT, they are a tiny bit over but it will help significantly! Next would be ram...

Well. My motherboard can't get support any videoboard better than an Nvidia 6600 FX, it has no more space for ram, and i would have to change it all, it would cost about 300 bucks to get 2gb Ram DDR3, a new awesome videoboard, sound blaster, etc etc etc...
Well, About 250$ where i live, that's why i'm saving some money.
Anyway, thanks.

My pc has 8 year old 0.o

I assume you have an AGP expansion for a video card? Also, a motherboard will not max a cetain model of video cards. It is just the hardware compatibilities, and seeing as it is most likely AGP being 8 years old you can use any AGP card...so this card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143102) wouldn't be too bad...

If your PC is 8 years old, It most likely only supports DDR ram, and DDR3 & 2 ram wont physically fit in a DDR ram slot. So your stuck with your 6600Fx, Which is better then my 6600le. You could always see if you could upgrade your processor (older ones are quite cheap), What is your current one?
