i have an old dell computer that i havent used in a couple of years, as i had a sony vaio laptop. now my laptop has broken, and mky old computer is as slow as hell.

so i’m thinking i’ll upgrade it.

I have a very basic background – i used to build computers, but that was back in the mid-late 90’s, so things have changed quite a bit!

It’s a dell dimension 1100 (spec in the link: http://www0.dealtime.com/xPF-Dell-Dell-Dimension-1100-Desktop-Computer-for-Business-DIM11P4MIN)

i’m thinking that the minimum i need to upgrade is the RAM, processor, and hard drive. as far as i can see, 2GB RAM is the highest this machine can cope with. but if u replace the motherboard, can you then go for 4GB?

so basically i need to know:

do i need to upgrade the motherboard? if so, what will fit/be compatible?

what processor should i get (based on either my current motherboard, or the upgrade you suggest)

what RAM is compatible with my current system/how to upgrade so i can use more RAM

what hard drives are compatible/what should i look for (i’m thinking 1TB)

anything i’m missing?

i don’t really use the computer for games that much, so i don’t need a top of the range graphics card, but if there is a cheap upgrade i can get, i’ll get that too

thanks for your help!!

It needs to handle ipod videos, torrents, games, and music.

I am trying to keep the cost down but I also want a computer that will last for a while. It will mostly be used casually as I will not play games on it but I am hoping to use it for a small business and it may become my bedroom tv as well.
I am looking to spend around 00. Should I look for DDR3? Should I find a processor that is faster than 2.6 Ghz?

My dad needs a business laptop, and he wants to know the best kind there are. He has a comic/trading card store and he needs to be able to upload pictures to his website and other business purposes. What is a good brand/style??

I’m also getting a laptop but for personal reasons, mostly. Games, pictures, fast, etc.

No specific price. Please include what type of ram, memory, etc etc we would probably need.

Thanks.
Also, what are bad brands? I heard HP was bad, true or false?

Okayy whats the best Laptop/computer to play all of my sims 2 games and my sims 3 game on??
