| upgrading sons pc's for Christmas
XP1900+ to XP2700 (barton)
Radeon 9200 to 9600pro
256mb 2700 to 512mb 2700
onboard sound to Audigy card (not sure which one)
2 speaker system to creative inspire 5800 5.1 system
systems have 80gb maxtor's and cdrw drives, running winxp pro - use 17" starlogic crt monitors - shuttle AK38N motherboards.
I know the graphics card could be better, but understand I am doing this to TWO systems - for 16 and 17 year old boys.
They can get jobs and buy their own 6800gt's...
