I have had my computer for about 3 years now, although I have upgraded the RAM and graphics card, I don't know if I should update anything else. Any tips would be useful.

Specs:

Vista Home Premium 32-Bit

Processor: Intel Core 2 Due Processor E6550 (2x 2.33GHz)

RAM: 5 GB

Graphics card:ATI Radeon HD 5770

Everything is still OK but I would upgrade your MOBO and CPU. You may also want a 64bit OS

What's your budget and the model of your motherboard?

Unless you get a 64 bit OS the 5gb's of ram won't be utilized.

You're probably fine for awhile. I would wait and see what intel and AMD have in store for us next.

32 bit vista + 5GB of ram = huh

You might look at getting windows 7 64bit. It is one of the best OSes microsoft has put out.
