Default [Answered] Old and very slow, need to speed it up help

Hi all,

Right, my brothers computer is around five years old, we re trying to play games over a network, but his pc is to slow to play games,

Is there ne CHEAP way of speeding up his computer, to around 1.3, that will not harm the pc, (ill put the specs for the computer at the bottem)

the specs are,

Pent l l l

866 mhz

30 gb hard drive ( hope these help)

thanks in advance
Dan

If you built it or if he built himself you can overclock it other than that not much to do to speed it up, maybe clean up some files here and there, you can download the program in my signature called clean-up. If he did not build it then he would have to get another CPU to get to 1.3

Here is a cheaper 1.3, this is only guessing you are using a socket 370 board.

then here is a more expensive one
