Help: About my machine

Hello,

I have an old computer, and I've upgraded it for many times.

Hardware List:

Cpu: Celerom 733 MHz up to 1100 MHz
Motherboard: GA-6VXE+
Ram: 320 MB
HD: 10 GB + 60 GB
Sound Card: CS4281
Video Card: Geforce 2 MX 400 with 64 MB
NIC: Realtek 8139

Now I have my Linux system and Windows 2000.

I'd like to know, if I wanna upgrade my machine, what parts should I
upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Everything. The only things you could keep would be power supply, case
and monitor - and if it is an old computer that has been upgraded many
times before, then likely power supply and maybe even case should be
replaced as well.

Cost won't be as high as you think, as sound and networking are included
on motherboards these days for minimal additional cost. Depending on
your video needs, you could also get an onboard video solution - which
still could be better than MX 400 (haven't kept up with the speed of
onboard video solutions, although they are certainly a lot less than
separate cards).
