Go away, you know NOTHING about computers.  Stop thinking that you know something, and actually take the 10 minutes to learn about them.  I didn't know a NORMAL CORD was old fashioned!  A computer's specs aren't based on OS edition.  Windows is made by Microsoft only.  He doesn't even have a freaking PCI-e to be seen!  So yes, he should get a new PC, but he should build it, if he wants a good price for good performance.

I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to hardware.

Your not the only one...

My basic points(don't say I don't know anything about computers cuz my dads an engineer and i was playing on a computer since i was 2-I also hacked into his computer when I was 4)
What do you mean by "hacked" into his computer? Brute force the administrator password? That's not hard.
1.RAM-You have plenty.
2.I use Windows Home Edition and it runs good
Windows is not a specific operating system. It is an entire series. Do you mean XP home edition, Vista home edition, or what?
3.Yes,your computer is in perfect condition for an upgrade.
He didn't provide enough information to assume this.
1 question-when did you purchase this computer?

The cords are slightly old fashioned,but I belive that they can hold up to a graphics card upgrade. Those cords coming from the power supply unit are the same type found in most every computer. Same goes for the CPU fan power cable. If you desire to do so,based on my information,you can decide to get a new computer.If you want a very good one,I would suggest a Windows Proffesional. He doesn't want a new computer; all he wants is an upgrade. Again, Windows Professional is not an operating system. The school that I help out in uses this brand and it is much better than the one I currently have. Windows Professional is not a brand. Of course,my computer is a 2004 model so it would not be the same.But,overall,you are still clear in the runway for a brand new,and probably well needed graphics card upgrade of a new computer. HE DOESN'T WANT A NEW COMPUTER. I know that I need a new graphics card with how old my computer is. That's about all you know.
With the following information equipped to you,you may now choose what you want to do.

koolkody12, disregard everything this loving idiot has said.

That processor and that motherboard are not compatible with each other.

Good point.

I'll just say $800 is the max.

Do you need any new CD Drives, speakers, monitors, that sort?
Also, how much wattage is your power supply? They'll determine if you need a new one or not.

Excellent thing to point out.

Carol should he go with a DOP or a SETE hdd?

Edit: Not responding only proves you're computer illiterate.

Just a question, but what type of engineer are you?

He probably drives trains.

I didn't mean the colored cords.Most of the new computers use those cords,but I noticed some old fashioned strip cords.Not that they're bad,they still work nicley.

My newer motherboard came with one.  It's a normal ribbon cable, you dolt.  Also, just saying "good point" doesn't make you seem smarter.

-my dads an engineer-

Well....As I have stated,I AM an engineer.I have been working that job for about 6 years already and I have a Masters Degree.
So,I outrank you in that matter.

What kind of engineer are you (as in your dad)?


Which one is true?
