CPU: Intel Celeron D 340
CPU Speed: 2.93GHZ
Motherboard: Santiago
Memory: 256mb DDR + 512mb DDR
Video: On Board Graphic
Soundcard: On Board Sound
Hard drive: 160GB

Basically I want to upgrade it enough to tide me over until I get my new Laptop & Desktop in August...so any suggestions guys?

Why do you need to update it? It looks like an okay computer other than the video card on board video cards aren't usally very good I might that the 256mb ram out and put another 512mb in. Are you haveing problems with lag or somthing?

No...no..not really. It's taking a little longer to load up that it used to (maybe thats because it's a fresh Vista instal?)

I'm just not getting the full "wow" from vista and that's basically because of the graphics card & because I don't know nothing about them I don't know where to start
