Dont waste your money trying to update a 5 year old computer. Buy a new one. If you use Vista go with 2GB of ram.

Hi. Get the 'G' wireless card, much faster. The lightscribe is OK but you need special disks. I would not spend the extra money for it. You do not mention a GPU. Get the best you can afford.

Scrap the PC and buy or build new. It will be cheaper in the long run and you can still use your old PC as a backup and local network storage unit.

Forget Windows vista and AMD processors, but I like Dell.

you won't be able to do most of those upgrades (particularly the processor)... I'd recommend if you want to do that much, you should just get a new system
