Big Booger Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Without a doubt, this has to be one of the most comprehensive PC auditors I have used, and I highly recommend it.Homepage there:http://www.belarc.com/Download.html#faq_sDirect download here:http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisor.exeI built my pentium 4 1.6 GHZ PC with 256 RAMbus, 80 Gig HDD, floppy DVD, CDRW, NIC, mouse keyboard, ASUS V7700 Geforce 2 64MB DDR ram, for under 600 bucks US. 74900no direct links to sites other than your own, thanks. -sedative[/color:3b8f1b1dd1] Minus the monitor. So, if you want to upgrade, I'd say sell your current system, or use it as a backup and go with a new one as I did. It's cheap as hell, you get the best bang for your buck, and you leave yourself open for future upgrades! Your PC, if you can't afford a brand new system, should be able to upgrade to a smoking unit for under 400 Bucks. You could go cheaper, but then 1 year down the road, its time to buy new again.
