Possible to upgrade my hardware Comp details included

Alright, so I wanna upgrade my computers hardware and thus increase its speed and storage capacity.

I used belarc advisor to get detailed info on my computer, so I hope someone can advise me on how to upgrade my computers hardware.

Please and thank you ^^

I put the HTML file that belarc prepared for me in a download link, I hope thats alright

My HTML file of my computer details

I was also wondering if it were possible to take out my floppy drive and put in an extra hard drive for more memory or something like that.

Wow. I've gotta say, that thing is ancient. You would probably be better off just buying a new computer, because if you wanted to make any gains by upgrading it you'd have to replace the mobo, power supply, video card, add RAM, get a new processor etc.

I would have to agree. Any money spent on this would be a waste. Best to upgrade. Build your own machine as you will save a lot of $$$$
