Hi ryan

First thing i would do is go to the Motherboard makers site and see what CPU and Ram upgrade it can handle, thats if you want to change anything. Windows XP Pro has a lot of Cr*p you wont need, a few things to do > http://www.thenewtech.com/forums/ope...ed-up-xp-3785/ and as has been said get rid of anything you don't need, also reboot the BIOS "take the MOBO Battery out for 5 mins, often helps" have a look at task manager and see what is using your resources, instead of using MSCONFIG use SERVICES.MSC for turning of system functions because if you turn something off and XP needs it XP will turn it on again cute Computer hope you have fun with it
