Upgrading my 2nd computer

[Russian Assasian 0]

It looks apperant that I am not going to replace my P3 dell with a brand spanking new computer so I am just going to upgrade it. I already put in 512MB of RAM and a Radeon 9000 Pro 64MB. I plan to do the following things.

Put in a P3 1.4 Ghz and an ASUS Geforce4 TI 4600 4X AGP (I dont have 8X AGP so I need to use 4X AGP.)

Put in a P4 2.4 Ghz C 800 Mhz FSB, an ASUS P4800 mobo, and a MSI Radeon 4600 8X AGP

So my question is which I should do? Keep in mind that a new P4 mobo might not fit in my dell. Do you know if it will or wont?

also should I get a differnt video card? the Geforce is the best sub $250 card I could find. I looked for a Radeon 9500 pro but could not find one. could you give me a link?

thanks in advance for the help

The Ti4200 Will serve you very well bro. Even if you get an 8x AGP card, it will run on a 2x or 4x AGP bus. They are fully backwards compatible, and will present you no problems.

As for the Mobo and case, which Dell Model do you have? And if you really want to do your mobo, a new case can cost as little as 15.0US.

I'd second a new case--Dell's are very proprietary and hard to upgrade. A minimum of 300watt power supply would be advisable as well.

What case vendors would you recomend? I dont want to spend over $50 for a case

Lite on is a good one. If your only looking to spend 50.00 or less, just run down to CompUSA or the local PC Shop, and get one to fit your budget. Make sure the one you get has a 300watt or better P/s in it. You can get a practical case for around 30-35 bucks bro, that will do what you need.
