Cpl Ledanek 248 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 this is Windows XP Pro ASUS A7N8X Deluxe ACPI BIOS Rev 1007, 10/8/2003 AMD Athlon XP 2400+ Thoroughbred 2GB Corsair XMS Silvestone SST-ST60F (600watt) CHENMING CMUI-601AEBL-W Blue (without side fan) Used mainly for minor Photoshop, pic/movie storage, same old skool gaming (GhostRecon/RainbowSix/HL2) and hasn't received any love since building a second pc. Just curious what upgrade could be further added or leave it as is. I may build another PC (April 08---depends on tax return)...may try to learn watercooling (if anyone in Chicago is available to give hands-on tutorial) Question: Should I give this old workhorse a new heatsink fan or is case at least a prime candidate for future H20 cooling? Advance thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ROCO*AFZ* 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Not to bad of a pc except the processor. It maxes as this processor Athlon XP 3200+(400 MHz FSB)(Model 10)(Barton) So your upgrade is limited by your board. I would say... it would make an ok game server.... or something for older games Sell it and use the money for the new pc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Giampi 39 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Still a good PC, why not add a new life in it deleting XP and installing Ubuntu? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cpl Ledanek 248 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Did you get an AMD Athlon 3200+ processor for your system yet Corporal Ledanek? no...both my arms are being twisted by folks to switch to Ubuntu instead I dropped $50 into my "Ground Branch" jar, $27 to my "COD4" jar, and the rest of my pennies towards my "next upgrade" jar. I did invest in a newer case...I made it big enough in case my wife kicks me out, I have a case big enough to fit it should be up and running my '09...pending divorce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
