Hi.
First of all I'm so glad this forum exists!!
My friend gave me his old VGX-XL100. What should I do towards upgrading the system? Is it worth it?? I don't really game anymore... I do use music software like Ableton etc. Are we talking alot of money on a new mainboard ? GPU? Any help is much appreciated ;-)
What would you do!!
