I was woundering what you guys thought about my system (in sig)
First i was thinking about getting a p4 3.0h/t and motherboard(also wouldnt mind AMD but i heard p4 are better for multitasking), im going to be burning alot of dvds( like sometimes 3 at a time) so please recommend a proc that would perform well(if the 3.0 p4 wont work, tell me which proc at least i would have to get cuz im on a VERY TIGHT BUDGET...)
Second, video card , i dont play many games and THE MOST i would pay would be a little over 100usd(prefer if it was cheaper) but i also want a average card not one that sucks...so tell me if i cant get a average card for that price.
Third, this would probaly should of been second, a PSU, i just want one that can handle my system, not one that has wayyyy to much power.
Fourth=Ram thinkin about another 512 stick , prolly need a gig tho.

thats all i can think of...recomend other upgrades i would have to have as well.. Thanks alot, this will really help me out:)​
 
what is the spec of the pc at the moment, i hope its not the one in your sig or you'll be needing a new mobo too

one of my specialties is optical media and i can tell you straight up that is a very bad idea... lots of p0/p1 errors await you

you can prolly get a 9200/4000/5200 for ~70usd

see PSU 101.
 
If you have the money go Dual Core

Sounds like you will be needing a Dual Core processor. They are more expensive but it has 2 processors in one die. Which will enable you to run twice the threads which means twice the power for multi-tasking. You would also need a new motherboard to run a dual core CPU. The Intel Extreme Edition is dual core and the Intel Pentium D is also dual core.

Good Luck,

i'd rather just save the 50 bucks and get the chip praetor's talking about:)

edit: i fount a RADEON 9200 AGP video card 128ddr for 49USD , do you think for now the card would work with the intergrated that i have now or is there a way like in bios or sumthin to totaly disable it and just run off the 9200
