well that's a huge amount of RAM. if you get a better processor you'll have a solid rig.

Processor: Pentium 3 - 450 mhz
Hard Drive Space: 7 GB
RAM: 320 MB (the only part of my pc which is actually updated)
Graphics Card: 4 MB piece of crap
Age: 5 years

Amazed? Actually, all the low system specs keep me on my feet. Amazingly, I managed to optimize things well enough to run Windows XP quite smoothly.

Boy am I glad I'm getting a new PC soon... any suggestions on which companies I should go with?

How have you lived this long?

My PC is actually running quite smooth, proving that RAM can go a long way.

Actually the only thing that really hurts me is that I have to delete huge important files in order to support my craving for OLP videos and music (which take up 1/3 of my hard drive space), and the fact that the most graphically intensive game I can run is the "Star Wars: Episode 1 Adventure Game" :

Ahhh, reminds me of way back when we had the ol Compy 386 with 66 mhz on "Turbo" mode (anyone remember those? :lol:

). The fact that I couldn't play Riven properly warranted the purchase of our new computer. Have any of you guys have played the Myst series?! Those games are nothing more than a slideshow of pictures, no 3d graphics or anything! Turned out that my pc couldn't handle simple mpeg movie files.

Ahhh. so there you have it, I've been livng this "crappy PC lifestyle" all my life, so I'm used to it (still agravated..but used to it).

I never got very far in it because I started when I was 8, but I just really liked the graphics, although the puzzles might have been too complex for me at the time.

I was in Grade 4 when I played it. Of course, I had to use a guide to get myself through a lot of the parts. I was near the end, where I was about to get to Gehn's world....and thats when I clicked the trap book. Stupid stupid stupid...

I can understand why people wouldn't consider this a "real game", but part of it is admiring the beauty in the world around you and getting into the feeling of complete isolation. Ahh the memories.

Myst III: Exile is pretty too:

Anyone ever play a game called The Dig? I really liked it but it got too hard for me and I couldn't figure out how to keep going.

Susan · Post by **Susan** » 6/19/2003, 3:13 pm

I always wanted to play that game.
