Yes, I'm getting a new PC. To start with, it'll have a 2.44Ghz quad core processor, 2 GB of RAM (to upgrade later), and some crappy graphics card (to upgrade later. Then I'll get a 19" TFT monitor. I win.

BOB EDIT: Don't show off your editing my posts, mod scum. You could have subtly changed it to something acceptable and PMed me that you changed it, but NOOO, you have to shout at everyone.

Nice.  Once you upgrade that graphics card, let me know.  We can play Unreal 04 sometime.

Becuase it's possible to get much more.

Keaton

Do you even know how much 2GB of RAM is, RM?

I may not be a computer wiz, but I know it's possible to get more.

You're confusing RAM and Hard Drive memory. They're two different things. RAM is Random Access Memory, that controls all kinds of things on the computer, like the memory cache and so on. 1 Gig of RAM is enough for most things.

Hard Drive memory is the stuff you use to actually store data on the computer. You use the HD to store all those files and stuff, most computers today have upwards of 60 Gigs.


Keaton

Yeah, I see where you're confused.  My PC has about 1.4G RAM, and 256G of actual Memory.  They're very different.

I see now, but like I said, I'm no computer wiz, anycomputer's fine for me as long as it can play my games.

Wow, I feel stupid.  Thanks for clearing that one up for me.

Sounds like a nice computer! Have fun with that.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Evilbob

oh, I will

damn AGP... my older graphics card runs most things fine, but is AGP and not PCI (Different sockets, pretty much)
