All because I wanted BF2..

[QuikSilv3r47]

OOOOOK..
heres the deal

To avoid lag I was going to buy an AMD 64 processor, but i cant get one for the socket of my motherboard. :cry: And since I havent found a motherboard that supports SDRAM instead of just DDR, I was thinking of just getting a new computer with a bad graphics card maybe so I can replace it with a good GeForce or something.
I was also going to sell this one, if anyone would actually buy it..

Question 1: What computer do you think I should buy?(not very expensive)

Question 2: Do you know how much I could get for this computer?
Here are the specs:

Intel P4 1.80GHz
768MB RAM
nVIDIA GeForce MX4000 (128mb VM)
Added a 4 slot USB PCI card
Windows XP Home Edition
Realtek AC97 Audio Card

Re: All because I wanted BF2..

for your computer: like $200.

as for getting a computer. buy something simple, like a AMD Athlon 64 3200+. 1 gig of ram. a geforce 6600gt or 6800gs. www.cyberpowerinc.com. Great site with great prices.

Re: All because I wanted BF2..

if your 15, and dont know the first thing about building, I dont recommend it no matter who says its not that hard. ibuypower.com and cyberpowerinc.com over charge by 200$ Maximum. You usually get what you pay for and have no issues because they are pros so you wont run into problems.

Re: All because I wanted BF2..

I know many people that could help me so, buildings not the problem as much as it is the money.

Re: All because I wanted BF2..

Eh, I'm 15 and made my computer... with financial help from my parents

Re: All because I wanted BF2..

i heard that ibuypower and cyberpower, like rip you off by, not finishing the build, or money rip offs, so im wonderin, if you guys got a good comp from there...and how reliable are they for my next comp?(a couple years off, but just want to make sure)
