I don't feel so bad now...

I'm thinking I need a new video card, more memory and a new processor.

considering i have very little hard drive space (and therefore very little virtual memory and crap) i thought my comp did fairly well considering the age and all :lol:

and considering my processors's a P3 500
i need to get upto 512 or so megs of ram.. preferably 1 gig
and obviously a GEforce 2 isnt the greatest.. but it gets the job done for most older stuff that i play :lol:

the newest game ive played is gunbound
the only game im lookin to playing is "frozen throne" and like.. whatever new hockey games they come out with and crap.. but im bogged down with school work and crap so i dont have time anyways :lol:

Over 21 THOUSAND percent difference!? Is that even possible??

i hate my comp. i hate it more than i hate.. umm.. a lot of things.

it freezes when OPENING A WEBPAGE! of course it's just like a minute or so freeze bit it does it all the time.

p3 500mHZ
12 gig hd
128 mb ram
voodoo3

i think the best thing about my computer is the optical mouse

:freak:

at least my dad said he might buy more memory or somethin'.

you need more RAM
hd space would help too
but RAM is bigger for you

ok all you smart computer.. type.. people... ...

yeah.. anyway, is it possible to run gunbound multiple times on the same computer?

and if it is, how do you do it?

Sign up for separate accounts.
Run one account on each computer.

*cough*
susan dear.. read.. same computer

sorry had to point it out :lol:

as for the answer.. i doubt it.. unless xp would allow it over different users logged in somehow .. that might work.. i doubt it tho

well, i'm using win 98, not xp (poor me..)

if only i could hook up my dad's laptop... but i doubt he'd let me use it coz it's for work. blah.

I overlooked that slight detail.

Even with XP, you'd have to switch profiles each time. If you run too many concurrent applications, then it'll slow up you PC pretty badly.

My comp freezes upon booting up to windows.

very true
but just running the net + just GB on different profiles should technically work
altho it'd be slow like you said.. just keep everything else closed basically

I just found out that for Christmas, I'm getting some upgrades done on the computer! Even better, it's being done THIS WEEK because our computer guy is going off on holidays next week! :mrgreen:

Here's what I'm getting:

- My 512MB SDRAM is being changed to 512MB DDR

- A new processor. My dad wrote down "2500 Mg". Don't know any details

- Radeon 9200 graphics card. :drool:

Replacing my GeForce4 MX440

So, now I need some new, fun, demanding PC games. Any suggestions?

one word: Pong

I'll have to check it out. :thumbs:

Demanding PC games you say? Halo, Max Payne 2, and Deus Ex: Invisible War are about as demanding as you can get as of now.

Well, I've got Halo...

I might check out Deus Ex. The first one was good...

Whats the difference between DDR and SDRAM?
