Hey guys, I'm not a pc wiz so I'm posting on here to seek advice. My PC specs are:- Windows XP P4 2.00 GHz 1.5 Mb Ram (3 sticks of Kingston's 512 ValueRam 2700) Asus P4S333 Motherboard ATI Radeon 9600XT 128 Mb 40 Gb HDD (some brand, cant remember, thinking of upgrading + getting a 2nd HDD) Just wanted to know, with these specs in mind, as to how hard it is to upgrade from a P4 2.00 GHz to P4 2.8? Can I do it by myself or should I try to find a shop who can do it for me, for a price ofcourse. And finally, can my rig / motherboard support Hyperthreading? Is the mobo Prescott capable? Thanks for all your help, - J

Is the my choices good by the way? I sort of thought that the 3.4G chip is way too expensive at the moment and as for the Asus motherboard, well I read acouple of reviews & a good friend's recommendation about the Deluxe really clinched it for me. Also, is Intel going to release a 3.6 chip anytime soon? If so then I might wait till then since the 3.4 might be cheaper.

Hmmm in that case, I ll upgrade my motherboard and then get a new processor. I was thinking of getting:- Motherboard - Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Processor - Intel Pentium 4 3.2G-E (800Mhz FSB) Prescott I hope my current rig can support such a upgrade and that I also wont need to get a new casing Thanks for the advice and those that are forthcoming, - J
