I'm upgrading my computer :)

so I was wondering what I would need to make it faster and more powerful?

not necessarily more powerful just quicker and less noise so it isn't working all the time and making annoying noises.

And also i'm buying a new box around it so :)


Here are the specs:

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)
System Manufacturer: MEDIONPC
System Model:MS-7187
BIOS:Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1022 MB RAM
Page file: 505MB used, 1952MB available
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Well, that processor needs to be changed and so probably your graphic card.

This means that you need to buy a new motherboard too. Get water cooling for the processor and make sure that you get a case with a lot of fan slots.

If I were you, I'd hop on a site like www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com and build a new computer.
