so im upgrading my friends proc and memory. he has $350 bucks or so. he currently has a nvidia geforce 6600gt, should be good enough. but his proc is a celeron 2.4ghz (not celeron D). so not a good proc. and he only has 512mb ram.

what would be the best upgrade he could do with that money? and i dont want to move him to AMD, so keep it intel please :-P

oh yes, and stupid question but im a little unsure, just need to ask: im not sure which RAM i used in his computer when i built it - if i make sure its the right speed though, can I add whatever other 512mb stick i want, and it will be compatible?
 
right so apparently nobody wants to answer. im thinking a pentium 3.0E prescott and 2x512mb corsair value ram. would that, paired with a 6600gt, be enough to play half-life 2, FEAR, battlefield 2? this is at 1024x768 res, and whatever details, minimum if necessary.
 
What are the other specs of this computer.

-what motherboard in particular. Not all P4's work on all P4 motherboards...

And you say you built this PC for him originally? Friends don't build friends PC's running Celerons :D
 
haha no what happened was i built me a really cheap crappy computer as a little linux box, but i decided not to keep it and he wanted to buy it (his computer was REALLY bad). as far as the mobo.. im not sure, ill check it out.
