If you plan to spend $50-100 on RAM, why not just go another $100 and get a new processor and motherboard. Newegg has Athelon X2 / Gigabyte MB / RAM combos for $150-200 ... just use your existing box and peripherals and swap the old stuff out


It's not necessarilly that easy. There are many factors.Some of which:
1. Will the MOBO fit in the case. There are a lot on non standard form factor cases out there.
2. Type of drives PATA or SATA
3. Video Card?
4.Do you have the discs with the OS?
5. Very Important. Power Supply and cable config for new devices.
6. do you need PCI slots. rare these days.
Just a few things to consider.
