alright. i am at the moment fairly broke... ive got abotu $40 Canadian to my name

Heres my PC:
AMD 1700+
256 MB DDR SDRAM
ATI Radion 9200 SE Atlantis 128 MB DDR
Sound Blaster 16 PCI

i obviously have more than that, but those are the generic detals. im fine for HD space and what not.


Now, thats beginning to look a bit dated in some ways (especially ram)

I was wondering
A: what should my prioritys be
B: say i need a new processor/ram/whatever what would be a good compromise between price and power
C: Also im running up the specs on my Mobo, il grab them in full later. Its an Asus. How fast a chip can i drop in it? (il get more info on my board later)





Thank you
