Your system is severely outdated, $100 isn't going to do much at all. You should save up and just do a complete overhaul on the system.
Now if you want to keep that same system and use the $100, then maybe grab a cheap SSD, but other then that there isn't much you can do with that system for $100.

If you must and just surf the web and word process, get more memory!
But, freaksavior is right... invest in a new system. Heck, a refurbished netbook would be an upgrade. Sorry, but, true.

Well, my prob would be:
when i have 100$ I spend them all and that has happened me about 4 times so instead of spending again I would like to buy smth which is worth on spending I understand you all that more money is needed My needs would be these: 1. Interested in web developing 2. Not interested in games, especially on graphic cards 3. Mobo+Cpu would be a great idea, cuz i can exchange my mobo+cpu+ram for ddr3 ram or an am3 cpu. 4. My computer is really dying and i am not kidding, i can't stand more than that! 5. Thank you

Take the $100 and buy food or clothing for someone in your area who is worse off than you.
Take some time to talk to them and let them know they are not forgotten and that there are people who care. It won't help your computer, but it's a much better investment. Just my opinion.

I'm not sure how else we can explain this to him guys, but i'm going to try once more.
CPU - It's a 754 single core sempron, lets see if newegg has some (I know, you're not in the united states) CPU Processors, Intel CPU, AMD Processors Damn, no 754 socket. Okay, lets try ram. http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.as...l=K8NF4G-SATA2 - 2Gb max? Hmm why bother honestly... It's $60 for 2Gb -- G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (P... GPU - Umm single core - again no point as your cpu is going to bottle neck the hell out of it. Okay so that leaves us with a monitor. 21" lcd Shit even that is over $100. Good luck with your pc upgrade for $100. /sarcasm

You are right, but the mobo cannot be upgraded, i mean there is no "slot empty" for it to upgrade
So if i get a single stick of ram i can upgrade it if i need to with a second, 3rd or 4th The mobo is more futureproof Also, i was thinking of this: If i wait 1-2 weeks that means the 9xx series will get out pretty soon and wait for it and buy it as soon as it gets out, or this could be a wrong move i dunno |

what are you talking about?? the board i showed you has 4 slots for ram. and the kit is showed you 2 sticks with 2GB on each stick. you have 2 slots left over after that. And no mobo itself can be upgraded.

ok man ok
Imagine if you have 6 years "WITHOUT UPGRADING" how would you feel? lol! and i want to tell you that i dont "need" ram, the same as i "hate" gpus for now. So ram is not on my interest now. Mobo is more important to me |
