i don't believe its possible to upgrade a 32 bit system to 64. i think you would have to do a clean install of the 64 bit os. someone correct me if i'm wrong

i went to a 24" monitor instead of the dual 19's. swapped the zalman 9500 for a 9700 for better cooling and the blue leds of the 9700 are a better match.
i've never overclocked before but was able...

so you'll need to add case and power supply to the list

in my humble opinion, if you want a pc for gaming, you would need to upgrade the mobo, cpu, memory, and video card. you can reuse the dvd drive, and the seagate hdd and possibly the case. you may...

i have that card in one of my pc's and it handles 2 monitors just fine.

the case turned out to be a real POS. cheesy and cheap feeling.
i was in a bestbuy today and they had a antec 900 so i brought it home.
much better quality. i shoulda remembered that cheap is...
