My good friend owns a computor store so I can get most things at cost or something second hand but fairly new. This is the only reason I can afford to upgrade the system. Thats why Im asking what everybody thinks would be the best setup for the least amont of money. I can get my hands on a P3 600 pretty cheap but if its not going to do the job well then I might have to bite the bullet and go P4. I dont want to get everything done and then find once everythings all up and loaded it starts to get all jerky and I have to upgrade again. I know going P4 is better but Im really stretching the $$$$$$$ now!!! I'll end up buying a new video card(which I know nothing about at all!!) so once again recommendations anyone???All of your help is very much appreciated in this matter and peoples personal opinions are very welcome.
Does XP slow it down that much??
