Hey, i was woundering if i should get an entirely new comp. or just upgrade bits n pieces, just before about 4:00 i installed empire earth 2 and now my C drive or where ever my games are in has 256meg left in it, it was originially 120 gigs, and i only have 512meg of ram, should i get 500 more ram, and 200 more gig or a new comp...

the rest of the main bits of my computer are here if it would have some sorta effect on this:
proccessor: AMD Athlon XP2000+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.7GHz
and my graphic chip/card stuff is : GeForce FX 5200
and the DAC Type: Intergrated RAMDAC.

it isnt too flash but it plays all the games i got allright..

thanks in advance :D

its clear you need more space new ram can wait i=f games already run smoothly adam

If ya want games to run better, get a new Graphics card, that thing will not run much..

But an amazing way to get more hard drive space.. delete stuff.. there has to be some random crap you have that doesnt get used??

yes watch all your "skin flix" and delete them, you'd be amazed :P

i'd go a better vid card, anything else, u'd b best to replace the whole system :)

Burn off stuff you rarely use... easiest way. That being said, I do have 720GB of HDD space in my PC... :)

Definitely get a new vid card too. the 5200 is a POS

yeh just brag it out beefy, we all know u got da money.

Narc give me a ring and ill help u finance your way through a new video card OK!

If I had 'da money', I'd be getting a new vid card myself. Storage was more out of necessity. Vid card is a luxury.

yeah storage tends to beckon more than video does.... (840gb here :P)

23-06-2005, 11:10 PM

You could so easily replace '200gig' with anything there...

No, '200gig' is the name of it. You know, makes him think he's big.
