I only upgraded before christmas to the following

Pentium 4 2.8ghz
1 gig pc 3200 ddr ram
western digitial caviar ( eek: ) with 8mb of cache


At the mo the pentium is at 3.4ghz, probably be able to get it up to around 3.5\3.6 with enough tooling around with it. My "weakest"point is my gfx card, a 9500pro, if i wanted i could get the x800xt when it comes out, but ive to get the daddy of all cards before that biggrin:

Leaves you with just enough for a new case/psu if you need it.
Good reccomendation here but I would get the 2500 mobile. Some guys are having killer OC's with it. Ive got my 2500+ at 2.2 ghz no prob.

I wasn't sure if he was going to overclock. I know about the XP-M's and there 2.7GHz overclocks. But if he isn't going to be overlocking why even bother?
