if you do indeed have a P4B (that is the spec for 533MHz) and upgrade to 1GB of ram (2 sticks of 512) you should be fine...I would think that any HellMart computer would be cr@p...IMHO the ~50 bucks for a gig of ram for your current machine is a very cheap investment and should get you rocking...

if your nick is an indication that you are a big gamer then perhaps a new machine might be warranted, but a machine to current specs is going to cost a pretty penny to truly be a gaming machine....

look here: Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! and search for memory>desktop>pc2700

kingston and corsair are both good brands..

if you post the full specs of your machine I'll take the time to figure out if:

1: its worth upgrading the memory
2: if the memory brands I give above will work (for this I'll need the exact name of your motherboard)....

download an app called Everest here: |MG| Free Download - EVEREST Free Edition 2.20

install it..run it and note all the particulars about your system and list them here (as noted, I need the MoBo name)...this is also a good proggy to keep track of temps and such, and can even be used to benchmark certain aspects of your machine...I think that with a little OCing your current machine will keep you happy for at least another year...
