Giving the old computer to my mother..

    So lads since my parts are arriving in the coming weeks I'll be giving my old computer to my mother..

    Is it worth upgrading anything in it at all? Or should I just give it to her as is? Keep in mind I just spent €1500 on new parts myself so money is tight enough :pac:

    CPU: AMD Athlon 64, 4000+ (Singe core, 2.6 Ghz), Socket 939
    Graphics: Asus GeForce 610 (Bought this recently when the capacitors on my old card literally exploded.. I can post pics if ye want :pac:)
    RAM: 2GB (Assuming DDR1)
    HDD: 240GB (Assuming SATA)

    PSU is < 400 watts if I remember correctly.. I have no idea what kind of Mobo it has.. I know it says Foxconn on it :p

    It's served me well over the years but it is now barely functioning.. I think this is primarily a heat issue so I have thermal paste, compressed air, and fans on the way to me. Currently idling at over 50c :eek: Hoping that will sort out a lot of the performance issues..

    To think I used to play Crysis on maximum details.. :o

    Id just apply new thermal paste clean out the dust and install windows fresh on to it and it would be good to go :cool: .
