Hi again people who know me, (not many) :p some I have finnished all my GCSE's and am happy to be back to chilling out and waiting for my results :eek:

but ANYWAY, onto the problem well i have an IBM netvista, which i bought about 7ish months ago i believe. The problem is is im stuck with pci slots only :down: and i (being me) dont know which card is the best i can get for my money ive been looking on ebuyer.com and have found this card http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=0&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=66312

Is this the best i can get on pci? ive been looking EVERYWHERE on the web with no success. Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks

2nd Problem

I have a pent 4 2.4 processor in my machine. I want to upgrade to a 3 or 3.4 pent 4. i have found the 3.4 on ebuyer for about 56 pound with VAT. I this a good price. Also how hard/easy is it to change my processor what will i need to go through to get it working. And thirdly is it even possible to change the processor in my ibm netvista?


Cheers

I'd say that's one of the better PCI cards you'll find. Unless you can find something equal but cheaper, I'd just go with that.

Socket 478? Yes, you can upgrade the processor, unless your mobo doesn't support anything higher. Check what model it is, Google it, and see what it can handle.
