if you have socket A, do a complete overhaul------there are so various celerons. i dont know how to start. but basing on your memory span its either socket A or, socket 370, which are already discontinued.





ailing do a complete overhaul if i were you---- attain a pentium 4 cheap nowadays socket 478 or socket 775.





save your hard drive if it is all right, your optical drives if it fast ample, your power

supply must be at least 400 watts. your satchel if it awesome



just be sure that they are compatible near one another...
