Hi, im not all to knowledgable when it come to computers so it may be a little fustrating of what i ask but if you could help it would be greatly apricated. I currently dont have the funds for a new computers, and as for specs its System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel ~736 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date Award Software, Inc. ASUS CUV4X ACPI BIOS Revision 1005,
SMBIOS Version 2.3
Total Physical Memory 896.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 530.56 MB
Total Virtual Memory 2.24 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.60 GB
Im not even sure if thats correct information needed or not but thats all I got from the system information program inside the window accessory menu.
While i know it may be better for me to just get a new computer but as of this moment im unable to, therefore while it may be a waste of money i want to push my computer as far as i can. I was wondering if there was anyway i can keep the momeny i have the

and replace just my motherboard and cpu, the power unit as well if it's needed for the new cpu&motherboard. I know its a long shot and they probably dont sell old products that'll be comatiable with the outdated ram but if its possible i would like to know. im not looking for a big change just a little. something that'll let me atleast play mkv files without it lagging. If i can just replace the cpu that'll even be better. As for my budget, well somewhere around 200-300 usd. If anyone knows anyway i can make my computer last a little bit longer till i can afford an actually computer it would mean a great deal to me. Thanks so much, will be waiting for a reply.
 
The Memory is Pc133, that would make finding a new motherboard and using the ram very hard.

You could upgrade the CPU with a 2nd hand with a better clock speed. But this bord can only support up to 800MHz.

More ram as it can take upto 1.5gig of ram stick a 1gb in there or 2x512mb

What do you normaly use your computer for?

Nothing much, the most i do is maybe watch streaming videos, listen to music, print and scan. and mkv, mp4, avi etc files like animes and such. Dont play games so graphics arnt much of a priority for me.
 
Maby just upgrade the ram could be the only upgrade left on that motherboard.

On my old system, I went from 512 to 1024 and the diffrence was amazing.

i have a 128, 256 and 516 ram, all three slots are filled. i could replace my ram but is it not possible to find parts to replace the motherboard and cpu?
 
Finding a computer mobo that supports Pc133 would be hard. The CPU upgrade would only go up to 800MHz. That is not much off what you have at the moment.

Buy a 1gb or 2x512 sticks and take the 128 and 256 out. This will give you the max out of this board.
