Well, Whatd I expect for $300? No fucking idea, but Ive been looking into pimpin my pc for xmas and well, frankly i dont know shit about computers (harware) so if anyone could tell me what the best possible hardware upgrade could be? perhaps within $200
Well..I know how it feels to be on a shitty computer because mine broke down and I've been on my sister's old one for the past few weeks.
I don't know that much about computers either but it might help if you post your current computer specs.
hmm, any idea where id get a lil read out of them lol
To get Basic specs right click on "My Computer" icon and click properties...
Then you can click on the "Hardware" tab click "Device Manager" and it will list all your shitz.
What are you current specs?
CPU?
RAM?
Video Card?
HDD?
Sound Card?
CD/DVD Drives?
And these sites have good prices on comp stuff.
www.tigerdirect.com ....pretty good prices......usualy pretty slow shipping.
www.newegg.com .......Good prices.... good shipping
www.ebuyer.com ........Okay prices not the best site.......okay shipping

not always the case. your best bet on getting ur specs other then installing somesort of benchmark program is to go:
start>run and type in dxdiag
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.80 GHz
RAM: 480 MB Ram
Videocard: Generic Cisnet VC
Sound Card: Realtek AC97 Audio
HDD: 72.7 GB
CD: 1 DVD, RW, CD
Uhh thats all I think, lol
corr blimey!!! i want your pc mate!!! how much does it charge? :lol:
http://xoxide.com/ has lots of stuff too. the new case im getting is orgasminc... http://xoxide.com/nzxt-nemesis-elite-case-black.html
killer, thats not crappy at all i think :blink: for 300$
all you need is more ram and perhaps(??) a new video card, i havent ever even heard of a generic cisnet.
ive got the same soundcard btw. :P
If anyone is feeling generous (fuck spelling) then you can send me a new graphics card so i dont have to play Cs on a 1999 Voodoo Banshee ;)
i think i have a spare geforce 5 that i never use .. might be able to find it :)
i was only joking but if your serious :P
Hey mate. I would suggest getting some ram. Bump it up to 1 gig, or 512.
Maybe get another HDD, and new video card. Other then that, your pc ain't all that bad =P (ecspecially for 300$)
yeah i could try look for it... i have a lot of video cards which i never used but yeah :D
I have to play CS on my sister's shitty, old computer...And it actually does run ok most of the time with 40-60 fps.
OS: XP pro
Processor: Intel Pentium III 860MHz
RAM: 384mb
Video card: ATI RAGE 128 PRO 16mb
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster PCI
HDD: 37.2gb
Cs on mine is really frigged,
I have 256mb RAM and the crappy old graphics card, everything else is OK though so i might just get a new graphics card and some more RAM,
Any sugestions?
New video card and bump up the ram to 512..I think it'll run ok then, but do some tweaking if needed.
for games now on full graphics i reckon you should get like a gig ram.... it's not that expensive like £60 for 1 gig or something maybe less....
eqII on completely full graphics would need say 1.5 gigs
I have about £90 to spend for both :(
Or i might just save and wait for the 360 now :D
ooph, take the stuff out of your 360 and put it in your pc :lol: (only joking, don't :mellow: .... :lol: )
