Hii
PLZZ SOLVE SOME OF MY DOUBTS:

I have windows vista on pc with nvidia 8500gt graphic card, intel dg33 board, 4gb ram, Q6600 processor

in future, what parts of my pc (graphic & sound card, ram) can be upgraded easily.
obviously ram, storage, mouse/keyboard, & disk drives can be upgraded anytime,,but is it same for motherboard, processor, graphic cards...

And can i add a sound card for my 5.1 speakers (currently i think it is onboard card)??

i think u have a good enough system,every part can be upgraded including mobo,gfx card,processor.

if u are upgrading only mobo make sure it supports the processor u have! i don't think u need to upgrade the processor of urs for another year and a half or may be two years!

if u are upgrading ur processor make sure the current mobo support it.

a graphics card can be upgraded anytime,as long as its PCIE.

if u want better performance from ur system u should consider upgrading ur mobo and gfx card.

And can i add a sound card for my 5.1 speakers (currently i think it is onboard card)??
if ur mobo is DG33FB then it has PCI slots ...so u can add in a sound card without any hassles
