Duh, sorry lol Coulda sworn I included that! It's an HP Pavilion 6636. Forgot its birthday but it's around October of 1999, we bought it in Feb '00. Thx for the HP site help, have no idea where to start or what to start with.
Know about the RAM, would like to bring it to at least the 256MB that the existing system can handle. I'm sure with only 64MB the computer spends half its time in swap file. With upgrades would like at least 512MB. I've read that 98SE won't handle a gig, no need for that much anyway. I'm not a gamer, don't play music through the computer. Would like better graphics, speed and storage--that's why I bought the 160GB HD (SATA150). It'll force me to improve and update things. The only update I've done recently was on the 82810 graphics drivers I believe, was a few months ago. Definitely want a more powerful CPU--the Celeron was competitive then, but this is now.
