oh my I wonder if the factory psu enough to support the new video card and extra ram for gaming?

Compaq only provide 180w psu!!

Pentium DC E5400 2.7 GHz, 3 gig of ram ( 1 x 1 gig 400mhz ddr2+ 1 x 2 gig 800mhz ddr2), ATI 4850 or GF 9800GTX...is it enough for all.

You need more juice for the card FYI.
A 500W PSU is sufficient.

no difference, your speed is limited to 400MHz coz both your rams are different speed. Which ever combination you put, the rams will run at the lowest speed of the 2 rams. means in your case, at 400MHz.

btw, are you sure the other ram is ddr2 400?

That hole is to allow the glue to cure and air out during the manufacturing process, something like that...that hole act like ventilation hole.

Intel Pentium 4 better than workstation cpu (sempron)....

For performance not. But for voltage, yes. For now, not worth for money.

But, overall DDR3 better than DDR2, think ahead of the future...

For now, most applications still not optimize for ddr3, but the performance between ddr3 1333 and ddr3 1600, not too far...but future applications definitely will take the advantage of ddr3 speed...
