Am I expecting too much?
Aging little beast: AcerPower
Intel Celeron Processor; version x86 Family 6 Model 6Stepping 5, 500mhz
Bios version: Acer v3.2 R01-E3 EN
OS: Winxp (from win 98) did a clean install (NTFS)-incase this is true-I find NTFS is zippier than FAT32 is this possible
upgrade: from a 4 gig to an 80 gig hdd, operates very good
upgrade: from 64mgs to 320mgs SDRAM
Running Kodak Easy Share digital system
Running McAffee, GhostSurfer,PestPatrol,Winxp firewall,Office200,entire suite
CPU/DRAM Frequency 100/100 MHZ, 66/100 MHZ
Main Board ID: V76M
Q1: I would like to install a CD writer, WebCam and voice, upgrade my CPU,
will I need to upgrade my BIOS, cooling fan, power supply (power supply is original don't know what it has now but I can find out by taking off the top)
Q2: Can I run DRAM instead of SDRAM- I know they don't run side by side, which is faster
