I'm thinking about upgrading my computer. There are two upgrade kits I could get from a customized pc store. One is using a Sempron chip 2600+ and the other is Intel Celeron D 330. Which is one is better? This computer is used for applications like word, IE, printing, some games like Counter-strike. Right now I have a 1GHZ AMD Athlon Thunderbird with only 128MB Ram of memory and only a 40GB HDD. The upgrade kit will only boost the memory up to 256MB PC3200 DDR and an integrated video memory of 64MB. So which kit should I get, The Sempron one or the Intel Celeron D one?

Hmm, I'm not sure how this store can offer you an upgrade kit without offering you an entirely new motherboard. Then again in giving you a new integrated video memory I'd say they were giving you a new motherboard.

I'm just wondering how much does this upgrade kit cost?

The Intel Celeron D330 runs at 2.6 GHZ and right now I got a pretty old motherboard with an open AGP slot. But on the store they show the mainboard with the upgrade and how many USB slots and AGP slots etc.

I got another question. Since I have an AMD K7 Series Mainboard, is it ok to upgrade to an Asus P4P800S mainboard with the Intel 848P chipset featuring Hyper-Threading / 5.1 Audio / LAN / 8x AGP / 400mhz DDR Memory. Bundled with an Intel Pentium IV 3000 / 800 processor?

That'd be fine, but like ddp recommended... Get a new Power Supply, don't take for granted that your old one is gonna carry the load of all that new stuff.

If will save you MANY headaches.
