Upgrade 2000 HCL BUSY BEE DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD
Last response: in Components
I have an old 2000 hcl busy-bee desktop....I don't play games and my old pc has never given me any trouble nor has it encountered any major hardware related problems....but now I want to upgrade it.
I wanted to change my mother board with a new one along with an i3 Ivy Bridge processor and 4 GB of ram ..I already have a laptop and I am mostly on the move so I will not use the desktop a lot...but I would stream H.D movies and use the PowerPoint software.
I have a 450 watt psu which is new so I was wondering whether I could use me old cabinet for this purpose...
My current specs are-
Pentium 4 1.70 GHz processor
Integrated graphics 64 Mb
512 GB SD ram
Windows X.P. (s.p 2) 32 Bit
80 GB HDD
LG 20 inch full HD monitor

Some Cooler Master power supplies are all right. Some not. See Johnny Guru for more info. I'd recommend a more modern graphics card for lower power and low profile features.

I didn't have much luck with low profile nVidia cards.
