Para ta sa kanag mga programs like correl drawl,adobe photoshop,Ulead movie maker, windows movie maker...kanang dili jud basically for highe-end gaming just for websurfing, gaming(like half-life 2,splinter cell,dota... kanang mga mid-end games) and some multimedia stuff.

[arclops]

bro, medyo prob ka ana sa video k 4x ra speed dn other dsadvantage is u have to buy 2 PC266 memory same size n make para mkuha nimo ang FSB na 533. its better 2 sell it n buy a new mobo with the same socket type, supports 8x AGP, and higher FSB like 800MHz. for gaming, a minimum of 128mb agp card...i recommend ATI.
