my friend wants to upgrade his comp to 2gb ram and 512 mb graphics
here are his comp's current configuratoin are-
intel p4 processor 3.0ghz
kobiann pvm7 pro motherboard

DUde, new PC< this is way old. 9600GT will cry if it's put there.
Erk.. .. I think I know this board, a friend of mine had it and it doesn't allow more than 64MB of shared video memory, whatever the amount of RAM it might be having. Worst part is that windows XP doesnt even have a default driver for this mobo and when you install it for the first time you see the output in 4 colours =_= ..
The board doesn't have an PCI-e slot so the graphics card has to be AGP 4x. AGP cards are expensive and not that good either. If you can somehow find an older AGP card at a cheap price... its your luck. I am not sure how much RAM will this board actually support. There are no tech specs for this board, it doesnt even come with a 10 page manual. I don't know more than this.
Really this board has no potential for upgrading, upgrading the ram to 2Gb is quite not required in Windows XP for most users. Also since the video memory share cannot be increased beyond 64MB, most of the games would not even run since there isnt sufficient video RAM. So 2 GB would be quite useless as most of the normal softwares like photoshop CS3 do not require more than 300MB of RAM.
Best bet would be to somehow look for a 2nd hand board from one of the better known companies (ASUS or intel original mobos would do just fine), which has a pci-e slot. Otherwise your friend would needlessly shell out much more for an AGP graphics card which wont perform at par with the pci-e equivalent counterpart. AGP cards were kinda outdated 4 years ago.
Hope this helps.

ok so what can he do to upgrade within 10k-13k?

he wants his comp mainly for medium gaming and he wants to play gta 4 in at least the medium settings it seems...... he said he can spend upto 14k
EDIT EDIT EDIT :
Desiibond posted a better alternative, but here goes anyway
Do what I am about to do in a month
Retaining the case, monitor , keyboard, mouse etc from the older PC...
Prices as quoted by desiibond in this post
Processor and Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X2 240 (2.8GHz)
ASUS M3A78-EM
8000 for the processor and mobo at most... prices can drop, who knows.
Hard-drive
Western Digital Green or Blue 500Gb
2500 for the HDD
I don't think your friend's current system has a SATA HDD, if it is then he could do with the one he has
Memory
Since you mentioned that his current system has a gig of DDR2 RAM , (although you didnt mention the brand) that would do fine on this mobo as well.
Note: its better if its a transcend, corsair or kingston RAM modules and not the other local like ram modules which can cause system crashes.
Power Supply : (IMPORTANT)
Most of the times people dont realise the significance of a power supply which , if fauty can kill off the entire system. Dont take the needless risk. Its better to go broke a bit and buy a decent, guaranteed power supply than one whose performance is not guaranteed.
Just cause the PSU might say 500W doesnt mean its giving 500W ... also the PF capability is important in ensuring a clean power.
Why I am stressing on this fact because people tend to have boards from ASUS, good disks , and ram but the power supply is like usually the one bundled with the cabinet (not at all a good thing unless its like an antec case which comes with its own certified power supply)
okay listing the PSU's
Corsair VX450W : 4200
if 4.2k is too much then he could opt for a lower wattage PSU or go for brands like coolermaster (which isnt the best, but at least good and reliable enough)
Note: If you opt for a 450W PSU like the corsair, it offers future upgradibility when you add in a GPU or addition harddrives which will shoot up the power consumption. And PSU's can always be carried forward if there's another upgrade. Going in for a good PSU is a long term investment.
Coolermaster PSU's cost like 2k upwards I believe. here's two which I saw at ITware
CoolerMaster RRS390-PMSRA3 Extreme Power 390W
Rs 1850/-
CoolerMaster RS460-PCARA3 Extreme Power 460W
Rs2425/-
Don't go for the likes of Zebronics really. Even though its a "known" company here.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Total is like
8000 + 2.5k + 2-4k = 12500-14500 INR.
If you also have to add RAM then add 2.5k more for Corsair DDR2 Ram (2GBx1 )
Min expenditure = 11500-12500 (PSU is like from coolermaster, and pricing of mobo + cpu isnt that high .. )
Mid expenditure(1) = 14500 (PSU Corsair 450W )
Mid expenditure(2)= 14500( Corsair DDR2 RAM , Coolermaster PSU)
Max expenditure = 17000. (Corsair 450W + Corsair RAM DDR2 )
Which includes:
Processor, Mobo, HDD, PSU and (Ram optional)
Stuff to be carried from the original PC
Monitor, Memory, Optical Drives, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Case, UPS etc.
hope this helps
