The power plug looks similar to the RCA plug from the back. I have found many Adapters on eBay, 45w 1.875Amps. Questions are these compatable.

Hi,

I have the following spec pc that i would like to upgrade (if its worthwhile) to a decent spec for gaming - i am not expecting cutting edge, just good enough to play games.

Windows XP
30GB Harddisc 5800rpm
256MB 133 Memory
1.2Ghz AMD Processor
On Board graphics and sound
CD Rom
CDRW

I was going to start with a new motherboard and go from there but what one do u start with? There are so many. I don't know a good one from a bad one.

I have up to £300 to spend.

I'm building a desktop PC and I need to put enough memory in it to manage whatever I install on it. My goal capacity is 2GB. But I'll settle for anything from 512MB to up to 4GB. As long as I can manage the price. My budget is really low. ($80 - $150)

What website do I go to for that kind of thing???
