Graphics Card: Radeon HD 4670
Memory: 2GB dual DDR2
Processor: AMD Athlon 7750 Black Edition Dual processor ~2.7 GHz
Motherboard: ASUS M3A78-EM
Power Supply: 500 watts

I would like to be able to multitask A LOT, and by a lot 20-30 tabs (8GB memory?) and able to keep my settings on diablo 3 on high to ultra with a decent amount of fps. Any recommendations would help thanks.
 
I'm on my phone right now so I can't look at the specs too closely.

But you have an outdated machine. What operating system do you have?

Have you tried overclocking the cpu? It is a black edition so it should do it easily.

Is that graphics card AGP or PCI

DDR2 memory is quite expensive. And your motherboard may not support much more.

What is your budget for upgrading?
 
- Operation system is Microsoft windows xp pro version 2002 32bit
- I havent tried to overclock it yet
- it's PCI-express
- I'd say $300-$500

XP will only recognize about 3.25GB of ram, so going to 4GB of RAM is an option.

But really, I'd save my money, try to sell this computer, and build a new one. $300-500 is a lot of money to put into an outdated computer.

Extra 1GB or 2GB RAM - you only have 3.25GB with 32 bit os
