With the fear of being laughed at I am looking at upgrading my prehistoric PC.
Any advice would be useful. I just want to get the full potential from my current setup.
It currently overheats and shuts down. I'm not too sure what fan I require for the processor or what will fit.
I also want to install the new ubuntu version 12.04 and have the current XP OS to boot up.
Please help.
Kind regards,
Tej
