How do my upgrades look?

[lancer player]

I have a dell 2400 P4 2.2 Ghz
RAM- 256mb
HARDRIVE- 40gb 7200rpm
and basic everything else

How do my upgrades look?
VIDEO CARD- http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-186&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE
RAM- http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-161-612&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE
SOUND CARD- http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=29-102-177&depa=1
SPEAKERS- http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=36-121-123&depa=0

Is this a good set up for games like swat 4, call of duty, sims, half life, and everyday computing? Please let me know what you think or what you suggest. Thanks in advance!

I think the video card MX4000 is not very good for games,if you have enough money,you can buy 9600 or 9550,even 6800GT,it can run 80 percent games in good effect.
ram:you'd best sell your old ram and buy a 512MB for your compruer is running with less fault.
If you are not an musician,you could not by a sound card,the sound card on your mainboard is enough for you.

the speaker you choose is an 2.1 track's speaker,it just fit for the sound card on your mainboard.
just my own opinion...

I didn't think the dell 2400 came with a P4, but a celeron @ 2.4-2.6 Ghz. You may want to consider upgrading your motherboard to one that contains an AGP slot. I think you will be disappointed with a PCI card.

i think im just gunna keep my on board sound and speakers for now. i can only have a pci video card. i do not want to go over $70. i am not a hardcore gamer wanting the latest graphics and such. so which card is for me

5200 128 128

The prolink (#1) appears to be the faster of the two, although there isn't going to be much difference

 

[Apathetic]

The only thing you might want to see if you can get better would be the graphics card in my opinion.

 

[Cromewell]

not being a gamer I don't think a really fast graphics card is a priority them

You may want to consider upgrading your motherboard

Good luck ... Dell is pretty proprietary

if i upgrade to this graphics card- http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-108-129&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE will it be a big difference from my integrated graphics i have now? what about going down to a 64mb card if the pci cards will not make a difference, but will i still be able to play games like swat 4, call of duty, sims, half life, need for speed?
note- i am just going to stick with a pci card

if you have enough money,you can buy 9600 or 9550,even 6800GT

Whoa the 9550/9600 and 6800GT are in two totally different classes

which one of these is better?

The first one

Good luck ... Dell is pretty proprietary

You'd know

will it be a big difference from my integrated graphics I have now

Most likely but id need to know the exact make/model of the integrated controller

No need to bump in less than one day
