Is this PC worth upgrading?

[paqman]

A friend of mine asked me about upgrading his PC. From what he told me about it, I figured for around $250-$300 we could probably get him a decent processor, a GB of RAM, and a larger hard drive in there no problem. Then he sent me the specs of the machine. Now I'm not so sure. It's only got a 100Mhz FSB? It's a Compaq Presario. Here is an exact copy of the specs he sent me:

QuickSpecs
Compaq Presario 4409CL
4400 Series Internet Desktop PC
Limited Distribution

Model COMPAQ PRESARIO 4409CL

Compaq P/N: 470037-066
Bundled with Compaq CV7500 17" Monitor

Standard Features
Dimensions & Weights

(L x W x H) Unit: 15.125" x 7.125" x 14.25" (20.7 lbs)

Package: 23.2" x 13.0" x 23.5" (29.85 lbs)
Processor Intel® Celeron™ Processor - 1400 MHz (1.4 GHz)
System Bus 100 MHz System Bus
Cache 32KB L1 Pipeline Burst Cache
256KB L2 Pipeline Burst Cache

System Memory 256MB 133 MHz SyncDRAM, 2 Total DIMM Slots Upgradeable to 512MB (SyncDRAM DIMM required)
Hard Drive 20.0 GB (5400RPM) UltraDMA Hard Drive

So is it even worth it to upgrade this machine? Or is it not really going to help? Is it true what it says that it's only upgradeable to 512MB of RAM? If that's true, and it really is only a 100Mhz FSB, then it doesn't seem worth it to me, but I was curious about your opinons.
Thanks.

There is no point in upgrading, if your friend does upgrade then he/she may end up paying more than $300. Once you change the processor, you may have to change the motherboard, if you do change the motherboard then most likely you will have to change most of the components.

Yeah, I already told him it was a no go. He may have me build him a new one.

Ya with a FSB of 100 you'd be lucky to get a better core....i recently upgraded my AMD duron 1.2gHZ (i have 226 fsb if i can remember...) to a 1.67 amd athlon....and that was only just worth it...cost me a hell of a lot to upgrade it all though

I'd just get a new system
