Best thing is to find out first if it's DDR2 or DDR3 since both are DIMM 240-pin. DDR3 only fits into a different slot, has faster transfer bandwidth and clocks in at higher speeds.

Thanks

Im on my PC that I barely use because my laptop is messed up.

On my Laptop it is close to your numbers.

HOLY stuff YOUR COMPUTER IS EPIC.

If you did, you have a weird sense of humor.

I was simply fixing it because he left out AMD.

Lets not derail the topic please.


It's funny because AMD is the only company that makes Radeon chips. It's like quoting someone that said "I have Windows XP" and correcting it to "Microsoft Windows XP."

I see what you mean,

Speccy might be able to tell us a bit more about your computer. Especially the motherboard model.

By the way, your GPU is actually really poor.

OP, you should try to do these things:
1.

download said program and post pics of the specs
2. get rid of XP whenever possible; it's time is up and get to windows 7 64 bit at least(32 bit will only barely support 4 gigs of ram, so if you ever really plan to upgrade, you'll also have to dump the 32 bit OS (not 32 bit programs though, there is backward compatibility but not for 16 bit programs iirc(which you shouldn't even have anymore in 2014))
3. get more ram for windows 7 because 1 gig will barely cut it, 2 gigs at the very minimum for satisfactory(depending on your standards) speed(IF your computer can be upgraded) I know this from currently using windows 7 with 2 gigs of ram
4. if you plan on updating your GPU and CPU aswell, you need to ensure compatibility and that the PSU will give them enough power, since chances are if it was a prebuilt, it will be only 250-350 watts or so which isn't really enough for anything great.

I think this is under my budget ($600) instead of buying a new PC.

Thanks for the help.

What GPU and CPU do you recommend?

We need to know the motherboard model. Most likely it will not have the correct socket or wattage support for new processors.

You do need to buy a whole new PC. You have no room on your motherboard for a CPU or GPU that is anywhere near modern, it just doesn't have the slot to support it
Depending on the form factor and size, you may be able to salvage the case. You could also salvage the HDDs and optical drives, although if they still use IDE connections, it may be hard to find a good mobo with IDE ports

It's not "most likely" it's "it will"
There's no way a mobo supporting a pentium 4 is anywhere near modern

Doesn't even matter because it all depends when you installed it. Like I've had this comp for 2 years, but just installed yer damn program. Speccy is far better:
