well im in upgrade mode again (thou that wont make any sence to anyone in the clan as im new
)
Well after I killed my old AGP based computer
(it had served me well for 2years going almost 3times as
fast as it should) that I loved to bits (sob). I got the cheapest
computer I could get my hands on (just moved house again
)
I got a HP a6001

it sucked hard but it worked (first thing I did was get rid of vista) woot I can play my old games again.
then lovingly grabbed the cheapest nvida card that was on
sale Nvida geforce 7300LE (about £40)

I was fine for cs and other non source games
(and still runs cod4 with all the settings to low <_<)
but the ram was killing it
luckly my friend had just upgraded his PC so I looted his
old memory "Corsair - 2X512mb” (if anyone wants these they can have them
”
great I said but playing ins with just the basics seemed sad
(and hl2 <_< dont get me started)
so I desided I would upgrade every part of the computer
(not including the motherboard) to its max (or as close as I could get with my cash)
