looks good

overclock the processor and get more ram...

thats it., should be fast Xp is great

You can't overclock a dell unless they unlocked their fregging bios...ram is cheap-get another 256k...get a cable that plugs into your sound card and run the PC on Aux through your stereo...nice box...

I have had three cable ISP's-they all provided cable modems for free....

how does a good graphic card work on the lcd screen? all the lcd screens ive seen have had crappy resulotion.

 

[slickdadd]

256 is plenty of ram. Unless you are doing some serious business on that thing.

Sell it, get a mac. Join the ranks of brilliant minds worldwide.

Unless you bought simply to play video games. No one produces good games for Apple.
