Oh and by the way i recently updated the Ram too that, started out with just 256MB added another 512. So it must be upgradable too a certain extent.
Most likely not over 750MB or so...

I can tell because... 1) GeForce 3 is just... Outdated. We're in the GeForce 9's right now.

2) It's not dual core. And although the Thunderbird is a great processor (I have read many OCed and stock reviews), it is greatly outdated. Also, 512MB will get you nowhere in multitasking or gaming.

You mainly just look at the card and card interface, and processor and its interface.
