[QUOTE="PuNKeMoN, post: 8180540, member: 447794"] 1 Yeah I can upgrade the RAM further. It came with 512MB. It has room for 4 chips. If I recall it uses DDR2. Should be relatively easy and inexpensive to snag 4x 1GB DDR2 nowadays. 2 Isn't the CPU affixed to the mobo? Would I have to desolder it and solder a new one? 3 I already have an SSD. It is the same capacity as my ipod Classic and therefore holds my music collection. I don't want to make it a system drive. Also, I have little to no experience creating a bootable drive. Although I did upgrade my OG Xbox HDD to 80GB and as I recall that involved a bootable cdrom and hotswapping drives. 4 I'm not aware if the Radeon is better than the Gforce but my tv has VGA input so I've been using that. I have absolutely no experience installing/reinstalling an OS. I am not opposed to the idea but I'd be a little nervous the whole time. I do the upgrades as a hobby so I'm not exactly well versed. I know enough to get the job done but how do I identify a "semi-standard mATX form factor"? Because I do like the case. It's pretty roomy inside and a lot if stuff can fit in there. Yes! [USER=32303]@FAST6191[/USER] I knew you'd provide some valuable input here. Thank you! Older games like Counterstrike, Doom 2, Diablo 2 and emulation from NES through MAME are my biggest interest. I tried PS2 emulation but it errors out because of lack of pixel shaders, whatever that means. Thank you for the advice. I was thinking my P4 was decent enough for the applications desired. [/QUOTE]
