Upgrading a Computer

1. I recommend to get more memory or ram. Price varies from 39 to 100 and more
RAM http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ValueRAM+-+1GB+PC3200+DDR+Desktop+Memory+Module/9414396.p?id=1218101173468&skuId=9414396 

2. I recommend to get more USB ports . You can buy an external for 19.99 or a desktop card

3.I  recommendd to replace the internal 24x CD-RW + 8X DVD R  b/c it is not a very difficult thing to do, and can  improve the computer. However, you can also use and external  one.
