CD-RW Drive
DVD-ROM Drive
ATI Radeon 8500LE video card (AGP)
Creative Audigy Gamer sound card (PCI)

I have been thinking about upgrading the CPU, but don't even know if that's possible. Does anyone know if it's upgradeable, and if so, how high can I take it (I do NOT want to get into overclocking). Or do I need a whole new motherboard? I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new system.

Any assistance here is appreciated!

Mike,

Why upgrade? It sounds like a relatively good config/machine? Are you wanting to run CAD/CAM type applications or what? I would think that this PC would more than drive most of the games out there.
