Hi,
need help with my grandpa's computer. He wants me to update his computer for it run faster but he doesnt want to buy a new one. He said his computer already has a sentlimental value. thuh?!.. This is what he has:

Pentium III 933 MHz 40GB HDD
128 RAM
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64

Any suggestion on what to do? what what hardware to replace?
is it possible to replace the processesor and the RAM?

Hi puy_sandisk and welcome to D-A-L

will the motherboard take any more ram?
what make/model machine is it?


you may be lucky and find a P3 chip

as a guess the machine is about 9/10 years old

I think a new CPU will be hard to find, most likely used, and won't help a lot. More RAM, when starting with a small amount, like 128Mb is almost always the best bang for the dollar. Then a better graphics solution. The problem then becomes power - does the power supply got enough horsepower to meet the added demands of more and more power hungry hardware.

What version of Windows?
