ooooh ok i misunderstood what u were getting at. yeah i can see what ur gettin at know. computer parts are getting cheaper, why dont you just go out and build a better system? tell ya what, in that case, give me his specs, then how much u can spend, and ill give u some parts that will smoke it hehe. but no honestly, short of hacking the registry, i cant think of anyway to make that system look better without upgrading. but seriously, u can prolly build a decent system for less then 500 bucks. i mean u can get 2 gigs of generic memory for like 10-20 dollars, 50 for the name brand, get a lot of AMD motherboards for 50, pick up a good powersupply and a 8600 or 2600 for around 90 bucks, re use a lot of the parts u already have, u can have a decent system pretty cheap.
