Today i was on the net reading news of the compuer industry after a relatively long time!
Dual core this, quadriple core that, ati x100000,....whatever!
It's been about 1 year and a half since i bought my pc and it served me well:
Athlon 3000 xp (barton)
512 Mb DDR 333/400mhz (added 256 MB a month ago after schrounging together some money)
Ati radeon 9800 PRO (128mb)
abit nf7-s
160Gb SATA hdd
at that time i spent a fortune, even if it wasn't the best avaiable then, but still costed me a lot! i was happy that it played hl2 and doom3 well! but i knew that it was at its limits!
now, me and poor old yeller, are just watching the days go by on the internets...two old lonley dogs...
hehe...sorry for this corny thread...but i just feel so sad in a geeky kind of way! i know there are people with worse rigs, but this has been my very first own pc! i was at least hoping that it would see the lights of TES: oblivion (march), but i'm doubtful!? of course i'm penniles currently, getting that 30EU for that 256mb ram was a strain, and now i have by today's standards juts above the minimum amount of system memory (768mb)! only my hdd is up to todays standards! everythin else is at least 3-4 generations older, upgrading would mean i would need to change everything. but i dout it would happen in the near future (not atleast 2 years)!
ehh i just have to face it! ;(
