GMA X3x00 series ******|||Forget the whole idea and start new. You have an old abit mobo. You wont upgrade it much to begin with. Save yourself some disappointment and start with a new mobo, video hardware, processor and ram.. It wont be much more pricewise than trying to upgrade that relic.|||WOW. All this:



Hard Disk : Maxtor (123 GB)

Hard Disk : WDC (80 GB)

Hard Disk : WD (500 GB)

Hard Disk : WD (500 GB)



and you only have:



Processor : AMD Athlon XP @ 1666 MHz

but you only play:



THE SIMS 3



You must have a ton of movies and mp3's.|||If you're looking to upgrade that much, just buy a new computer. It'd be a much better, cheaper option.
