I have had my computer three years it's a Packard Bell iConnect 1200. Since I originally bought it I have upgraded the RAM to 128MB (something I plan to do again to 256 then 512) and installed a new 80GB HDD, CDRW and upgraded to Windows XP. Until recently I only had MSN Messenger loading in the system tray at startup but a couple of months ago I installed AVG Anti-virus and ZoneAlarm to protect my computer whilst online. This has slowed my computer down considerably when loading up and generally it takes a while to do most things.
I still have a 700MHZ Intel Celeron processor as I thought to upgrade that I would need to buy a whole new motherboard and therefore new RAM etc. Is this true? Would any of the celerons on this site be compatible with my machine (e.g. I can take my old one out and replace it with that) and if I did upgrade that and the RAM would I notice a considerable difference?
Thanks Tarq
