Windows XP
512ddr (2*256)
60gbs hd
Geforce MX440(!!!!!!!!!!!)
PC2:
AMD Athlon 1Ghz
Windows ME
128 SDRam
20gbs hd
Geforce MX200 or something stupid
upgrades i was thinking of:
PC1: another 2*256 ddr ram

new graphics card

PC2: new motherboard

If i'm not a complete nub this would make them both roughly the same spec could anyone who knows anything about PC's have a look at the parts i suggested? any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Edit: key points that i'm not sure about are:
- if Dell systems support 4 ram cards
- and if so would the ram i have listed here work with the ram (probably different brand already with my Dell
- if existing sound card/other things on pc 2 will be compatable with new motherboard given how old it is
- if all the stuff is compatable
- if anyone in the world would be stupid enough to buy a used MX440
