What is the best way to improve this sytem for as cheap as possible.

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz
Motherboard: Foxconn N15235
RAM: 2GB 800MHz
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 9400GT
Hard Drive: Western Digital 80GB
PSU: 650w Atrix Twin Fan Blue LED Clear

Thats not a valid Foxconn motherboard model unless its an OEM board and those usually have another number printed on the board itself as well. If its an OEM/big box brand system then we'd need to know the model of the system.

Depending on what the motherboard is and what it supports then going to a dual core processor would help performance quite substantially.

And 'improve this system' is realyl vague - what areas does it need improvement in? Gaming, video/audio editing, general office use, etc?

Sorry, It is an Esystem Ei 314. I think they took a foxconn mobo and changed it slightly. Any way any improvement to speed will be good.

Where is it slow? That should be a decent all around performer, but if that HD is a full 80GB 5400RPM drive, then simply a new bigger 7200 RPM'er would work wonders.

What apps are you running?

What Operating system?

I mainly use it for the internet (firefox) Downloading (Bitcomet) and Google Earth. I also watch youtube videos a lot aswell. I am just trying to find a way to give a bit more poke loading things if you know what I meen.

Depending on how full the hard drive is, as mentioned above, a larger one would help.

And don't say Bitcomet around here That'll get your post closed real quick

Google earth seems to be your real big app then, in that case...

More hard drive, faster hard drive and us the old 80GB as a dedicated scratch disk, more RAM wouldn't hurt either, a professional graphics card might help too...

Best bet, RAM/ Hard drive just from what I have gathered.
