Hey,

I'm trying to upgrade a PC so I can play decent games and shiz.

Currents specs are:

512mb DDR ram (yeah, DDR origional favour).

nVidia GeForce 5500 series.

Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz.



I'll obviously need more RAM, but is the CPU good enough?

Also, I *think* the motherboard can only support DDR ram and no higher (its a P4SD-LA one from an HP pavillion) so will I need a new motherboard?

This: Motherboard Specifications, P4SD-LA (Oxford) HP Pavilion a562n Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

If so, is this any good? And does it do what I need? Gigabyte G41M Combo Intel G41 (Socket 775) DDR2/DDR3 microATX Motherboard []

I know about graphics and CPUs, but motherboard make me run for cover and cry like Justin Beiber.

Any help is appreciated :)
