my cousin has a compaq and upgraded it a bit, it has a celeron d 3.33 1.5gb of ram and a 8400gt 512mb graphics card, 5400rpm or sumthin like that hard drive, what would be the next thing to upgrade?, and would it make a big differnce going from 5000rpm to 7k rpm
 
GFX sucks... 1.5GB is most likely DDR...

Overall? Sucks. If it was for less than $350, understandable. But overall, it's lowly compared to a Quad. Compared to a C2D? Not bad. Not the worst you could go :P
 
Is this a laptop or a desktop? If it's a desktop, then yeah, it's pretty bad. Graphics card and processor are both weak.
 
I had a WD 7200 and it was good. I gota wd Raptor and i was loading games in half the time. So it made a huge difference for me, at firist i had everything bug a new hd so it was a bottle neck. now im good.

it all depends on what he's going to use hte computer for. you basically buy a graphics card for something a little better than your playing so you get good fps.
