To all..I hope I am not too far off the focus of this thread but if I may ask...I am looking for some upgrade advice..Presently i have a home built Clone PC with a micronics M55 ATX Motherboard, P90, 64MbEDo Ram, WD 1 Gb EIDE, 56K Hayes Accura modem and a STB powergraph 64 PCI 2mB video card w/ a 17" NEC XV17 in PC Power and Cooling brand case..with Win 95 The system is as reliable as gravity and works fine. the family uses the machine for internet school stuff, some basic games, WP etc. However I have the upgrade bug...My question is should I bother?? Ihave read that upping processor speed to say 200MMX would give performance increases (screen redraws etc)ONLY in the single digit range..Do I go to a 66 or 100Mhz buss machine? And if so then AGP video, SCSI, etc. Am I just itching to spend money..My wife suggests that I leave well enough alone...How much bang will these additional bucks get me? Any thoughts???? regards, walt
