i have a pentium 3 with a 866mhz processor and 512mb ram,160gb hdd,radeon 9550(128mb),unknown soundcard(i think its a soundblaster pci ?),and i am wondering what would be the ideal soundcard and videocard upgrade,bear in mind i only use it for internet usage and photo editing so speed is not essential
also what is the best graphic card(agp)for my games machine (pentium 4,1gbram,realteck audio,200gb hdd,radeon 9700 graphic card(256mb)),i look to improve it and have a budget of £75 to £125,any ideas

For AGP your best bet is a Radeon 6800 graphics card. Buy a GT if you can afford it. You have choices of 128mb or 256mb. Choose what you can afford but I believe a 128mb GT is better than a standard 256mb.
There are websites that will do detailed comparisons giving you statistics from playing the latest games on them. Google "graphics comparison statistics" and see what you find.
As for your other PC I wouldn't bother spending any money upgrading it, if all you do is Internet and photo editing then your current graphics will be fine and who needs great sound on a PC?

Stick with what you have because the main issue is saving for a new computer, Pentium III will be a dinosaur in a few years anyway.

hey you got to stop investing on your old p3, it had reached its maximum upgrade, there is no more upgrade for that p3 866, let him rest now in few yearsor months your pc is a memorabilia. just save your money for the next generation pc.
