Default RAM OR PROESSER?


I am planning to upgrade my computer? I have Intel Pentium 3 733 Mhz and 256 SD RAM. I am confused should I upgrade my processer or RAM?

If you plan to upgrade to P4, which is a must, you have to change verything you have. You would need a new motherboard for the P4, a more powerful power supply(recommended 350W) and DDR RAM instead of SD RAM.

Pls be a little bit more specific so as to help you

If you upgrade your RAM to 512Mb, then you'll get a performance boost of about 10-15%. On the other hand, if you upgrade your Processor to P4, buy a new mobo and get DDR RAM, then the performance boost will be huuuge. Depends on how much more performance you want. If games are running slow, then upgrading the Proc, mobo, RAM and Graphics card is recommended.

Yes, Go for a complete system upgrade. This will boost ur performance. U may keep ur SD RAM 4 sell in Hardware section. Many people r willing 2 buy SD RAM.

Pls dont go for Intel.It will suck your money.U can get AMD for more cheaper and outperforms Intel.
Goto www.techtree.com and u will know everything.Check out buying guides there.

Ok since u have taken decision to upgrade go for this
CPU : AMD Sempron 2400 (Rs 2800)
MOBO : ASUS A7V400 -MX (Rs 2700)
Transcend 400Mhz 2x256MB Ram (Rs 2800)

This will do it for you.
and also post your queries in www.chip-india.com about upgrade.
