First off. What games are you trying to pull off here?

all that hardware to way outdated of your trying to play something like Crysis, Farcry ETC.

Tell me what?

I would recommend to get a whole new computer.

1. The processor will fit in socket 370 (says on the page).
2. You'd need a different motherboard with support for that socket/processor line.
4. Don't think your motherboard supports DDR2, DDR is what you're looking for, though it's more expensive.
EDIT:
@DarkEnvy, that's not what he asked. And he never said anything about playing new games that his system would probably not even install.

Sure you want to upgrade all that, all part are outdated and as karakawe
said, you have to buy DDR (not DDR2).

I would suggest you to just save your money and maybe try to get about $500 for an totaly new computer.
That would make an amazingly btr comp.

it doesn't really matter his computers really out dated.

I would even tell him to update it. Which points to me saying ignoring his question.

The number of slots on your motherboard does not indicate what type of memory it is able to support.

Bahaha, hilarious.


ryukyus, why would you only upgrade with that amount?
Its better to buy a new computer, rather than looking for old, slow and outdated hardware. I have a computer with 512mb RAM, onboard GPU and a 2.1GHz single core processor. Not worth the upgrade.
