upgrading old computer...help!

[kevin28282]

So I have an old computer (built it 5 years ago) and I'd like to use it as a second comp to play WoW and run basic stuff on it. Currently it is running on:
-Mobo: Asus p4c800-e deluxe
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=30&model=175&modelmenu=1
-CPU: Intel p4 2.8ghz
-Memory: Not sure the brand, but its 512
-Graphics Card: Not sure brand, but its Geforce 5900 fx (best link i could find is, http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20040109265519.html)

I would like to upgrade the ram and graphics card, to speed things up a little bit. Does anyone have suggestions on what type of graphics card i should get? the mobo only supports AGP, so pci is out of the question. the ram, not sure what i should upgrade to so i'm free for suggestions =] thanks in advance!

You have PC3200 or DDR 400, and you should get at least 1 gb total, hopefully you have 2 open slots.
Best AGP card is a x1950. Will run most games now and will hold you until the next new build comes.

Given prices I'd get 2 x 512 to get the 1GB and dump the old RAM, that way you know they match, again assuming you have 2 slots

well, i would suggest nothing less than a 7600 or an x16xx series card.
A x1950 agp should be perfect for the price!
you may have to upgrade your powersupply :\
if anything, upgrade your ram first then your graphics card and psu.
