3) there's been a generation change since the pentium 450 (I think that's a P2, not a P3, but I might be wrong) came out, so if you're talking replacing the processor you almost certainly have to replace everything if you want new. I think the change happened at 600, but I can't remember now.

1) if you're buying hardware on the right kind of website or from a decent store, there'll be a list of what's compatable with what. you need to know the brand, size & model of the case, plus your power needs.

2) I've found windows hard drives to be more-or-less plug and play, because they have a huge number of drivers on them. that's relatively easy to check - ask a friend if you can stick your hard drive in their computer and see if it boots. if you know what hardware you're going to be getting, you can also download all the drivers your going to need before you put it in the new comp. what should happen is windows will auto-detect all the new hardware and use the drivers.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
