if you're planning on playing new games, I really suggest you get another gig of ram
Nah, I'm not a fan of the current games, they're boring. But this'll make my FPS in the games I do play, which are more than a year old, like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, KOTOR, Vampire - Bloodlines, SKYROCKET! I'm installing KOTOR right now, cant wait :devgrin:
Welcome to the modern age. We hope you enjoy your stay.
By the way, how'd you come into possession of that system, and what are you upgrading from?
Haha, long story, my friend. About 3 weeks ago my PC started malfunctioning, couldn't shut it down properly. Then I unplugged it. The next day when I came home from school, I plugged it in, and tried to turn it on. Then it didn't turn on. Then I unplugged it and plugged it back in, waited 10 min, then it worked. Worked like that for a week. Then, it started restarting by itself in the middle of me using it, after which it couldn't start Windows again. A few days after that, when I unplugged it and plugged it back in like I always did, it would turn back on XD. Then I took it to repairs, and the guy said my motherboard was half-broken XD.
Then I got this rig. Feel free to say "way to crash your PC, noob"

And previously I had an AMD Athlon 2200+, 512 MB of RAM, ATI RADEON 9200 SE. As you can see, HUGE improvement.
