Cost of RAM, graphics card, hard drive, connection, software upgrade for my computer?

How much would the cost be if I want to get the following on my desktop PC:

%26gt; New 4GB RAM + its installation, since my current RAM is a crap-*** 224 MB

%26gt; NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT graphics card

%26gt; Latest version of Norton AntiVirus software

Another question I have is related to hard drive. My current hard drive is 40GB, how can I add 160GB more hard drive without losing the data on my current hard drive (an external hard drive is also okay if it can do the job). Another thing is that I have 2 operating systems running on my PC (both Windows XP Professional), even though I use only one, and so the other one is taking up unnecessary space. How do I delete that useless OS?

And finally, are there any high-speed Internet providers in Greater Toronto Area (specifically Mississauga) that offer their service by month, i.e. you are not restrained by a contract to buy the provider's services for X months or years? I really want to get rid of my crappy dialup connection.

sounds like you're thinking of upgrading an ancient computer.

If you're going to buy all of those components you may as well get a new motherboard and cpu. cost will probably not be too much worse.

yeah if your current computer only has that little ram then my guess it can't support a 9600gt anyway.

buy a new one!

probably around 700 depending on if you need another monitor or not

Before you upgrade your RAM and graphics card, you need to make sure your motherboard can handle that amount of RAM and has a PCI-e slot for the graphics card.

Cost would really depend on what type of RAM needed, what brand you want, and what site you get it from.

Adding another internal or external drive, whichever you prefer, will give you additional disk space.

To remove one of your XP installs, you can reformat the drive it's on by right clicking My Computer and selecting Manage. In there, select Disk Management. If your other XP install is on the D: drive, right click it then select format. It will wipe the drive and all that space will now be free. After that, right click My Computer again, select Properties. Go to the Advanced Tab. Under Startup and Recover, click the Settings button. In there, remove the check marks from the first two boxes so your current install of XP will automaticall load without giving you a choice of which OS to load.

As for the ISP, not sure, I'm not in Toronto, or Canada.
