At my house I have two PCs. The one I am using: a e-machines T2893 and a T6414.
The 6414's HD is off limits to me because my dad still wants a lot of pictures that are on it. To the best of my knowledge everything else works fine.
Now, from Wikipedia, I found out that the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 in the 6414 is apparently compatible with Celeron processors. My belief is that the Intel Celeron processor is better than the AMD 1) it is an intel and 2) it has about .66 higher GHz. However, the onboard graphics are much better on the 6414, and I want that. Additionally, the motherboard on the 6414 has slots for 4 sticks of RAM, and hopefully I can combine the RAM from the two. If not, I also have another T2893 lying around because recently the motherboard gave out and now it won't turn on. Hopefully, that RAM is intact still and with any luck I could place the total of 4 sticks of RAM from the T2893s in the 6414s motherboard. Additionally, the 6414 has a DVD writer, more USB slots, and a few other extra perks.
So, would it be possible to merge these PCs? If so, how would I do it safely?
P.S. if this all REALLY stupid, my bad. I just want to upgrade my PC, but I got no money. Just spare parts.
