 ok guys, so I like upgrade my computer by upgrading to pentium 4 1.8 giga hertz and adding 256mb ddr ram plus 40gig harddrive and 64mb Geforce 4MX video card. I payed like 500 USD. 
 Its that a fair price?

 I'm not exactly sure how much it costs to upgrade you hertz but the video card, ram and harddrive show come to close to around $225.  I Think.  oOo: |

 Yeah, but with Generic packages comes generic parts.  Who knows what crap they put in those cases...it definitely isn't an Asus or Abit Motherboard, or a IBM hard drive. |
