Noob question concerning my computer

Im pretty much a laymen when it comes to computers these days. Im so far out of the loop that I dont even attempt to get into it. With that said, Im just wondering how my computer fairs concerning why I have one.

I basically use my PC for video editing, My music library, A little bit of gaming and just general purpose stuff. Nothing hi-speed. My specs are:
AMD Athlon XP
Spacewalker AK32 MB
160GB & 200GB HDs
GeForce 550 video card
SB Audigy 2 Sound Card
512 MB Ram

For the above mentioned, Is my PC decent enough?

I was under the impression that the CPU I have is a 2600, Or 2.66 Ghz Is that true or is it actually slower?
Thanx

if your satisfied with it then yes it would be.

you can check what CPU you have and its specs by downloading CPU-Z
 
It's getting a bit old, but as long as it works and does what all you want it to, there's nothing wrong with it.

I don't recall the speed of the XP 2600 right off, but they usally are a bit slower than the PR rating. I mean my Laptop(Sempron 2800) is only a 1.6GHz.

Oh, and his video card, he probably meant a 5500 :rolleyes:
 
My main concern is the MB. Its a bit older than all the other components. I was just wondering if I need a newer one, Or if that particular one allows the processor to operate at its peak.

I agree with the other one...it IS getting a bit old. But, i mean, it's not that far off, and as long as your not complaining too much about it, and you dont feel the need to change it...your fine!
