Upgrading HP XE 736

[jahajazz]

Alright well I've got this old HP XE 736 Here's the specs the only I have done is add a 128MB stick of PC133 RAM and I'm wondering if there's anything worth doing to this? Or should I just save the money for a low-end sempron system?

Evil i810 chipset. Dump it and start over.

not even worth it to put in a 1.0 p3?

If you can get a PIII 1GHz to work in there, it would boost performance. But I don't really like that chipset. Don't expect to be able to play games on that thing with stellar performance.

The decision is ultimately yours, but I don't touch the i810 chipset myself.
