Hey, Big time noobe here,
I would like to know what the bigger size I can go to.
Right of now. Its running a AMD XP 1500+ I'm seeing out there like the 3000 and things like that. I want to go bigger so I can build this the most as I can. But I got the AMD XP do to its small and I was not sure how big I can go. not sure and cant tell what MOTHERBOARD I'm useing. Is there a way like of looking on my computer to see what board I'm running?

There is now way to tell without the motherboard that you are using. The best way to upgrade is to take your computer if you are unsure how to is to go to your local store and get an upgrade kit. You will get a new motherboard, CPU, more ram, and a better graphics card if you want one, you keep all of you old drives so that your data does not get touched. It is heaps cheaper than getting a new computer and it will be like buying a new computer.

look at the motherboard, there will be a model number on it, like k6vn7 or such. google it. most motherboards (mobo) have a chipset standard and the same mobo can come from several manufacturers.
as for upgrading, it all depends on what socket your cpu is (what type fits the MOBO) most newer desktops are so cheap, an upgrade on a system over 3-4 yrs. old is a waste.
if you have a gateway, dell, etc.. ask the manufacturer.

Is it a computer from Dell or any of those manufacturers? If it's not, open up your computer and the name of the board should be on the thing itself. YOU WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM IF YOU GET A NEW MOTHERBOARD.
