I'm helping my aunt upgrade my little cousins computer as a secret present.

It's a fujitsu siemens PC, he's a bit dishearted since it won't play most new games, he's saying that it won't play Dragonage: Origins. While he seems to meet the minimum specs, when I fired up his computer, I did notice a fair bit of adware.

She doesn't want to spend much, say a budget of about £150.

Here are his specs.
Nvidia Gefore 6200LE
Intel P4 3.40
1gb RAM - 2x512mb PC3200
Asus P5GD1-GM/S motherboard

I'm gratful for any suggestions :)

I had a word with my aunt this morning, and she liked the sound of this build, well the price :p.

Silly question though, he will see a noticeable difference and increase the range of games he can play? Because if it doesn't, I going to be rather unpopular at the christmas dinner table :eek:
 
He will notice a huge jump.

Its hard to find a comparison of speed between the two cpu's and the two graphic cards, due to the age difference of the components.

But it will be measured in multiple X's faster rather than percentages.
 
Cant find anything about Colorsic, which is worrying.

Also I think that serial number is actually a European Standards low voltage directive, and not an actual model number.
