Get a new PC, you would have to upgrade basically everything in there anyways.

there is a HUGE guide here in the pc hardware forums thats like 300 pages long :P

and i have a few video's one can be built much cheaper than one can buy.

a bought one at say 800-1000 is really probably somewhere near the 750 mark in terms of value.

companies or places like bestbuy charge tons for assembly which is really stupid infair.. so yeah i recommend it over buying a prebuilt. and tbh you WILL notice a difference

pop in xp 32 bit 2gb ram and say your current x1950 into an am3 system with a new psu and rock the block.. oh rock the block baby. you may even be able to carry over your ram :)

Takes like 10 minutes of research to figure out. Really isn't hard at all - don't let it put you off. If you knew what parts to get, you wouldn't even need a guide - all the parts have their own installation guides.

you just plug stuff in

almost everything is keyed to fit only one thing and nearly everything is labeled

incredibly easy, just read a little and your set

You're CPU and gpu are pretty dang old. At this point no single upgrade will really be worth it, so you will likely have to replace nearly everything inside, aka a new computer. (You can reuse the hard drive, DVD drive, and maybe the case again though.

akdiuuuryttt

what psu do you have?

for the ram you most likely don't have ddr3 which the new systems use
