help me spend $200

[Spikesoldier]

i have 200 bucks

i can either have a meucci pool cue, new and unused, unchalked, or i can run out and buy a 36.7GB raptor and upgrade my memory to 1GB from 512MB.

which would you take?

btw: meucci is like the best brand of pool cues, their cues easily reach over $1000 each. the one im buying retails for $400, and its brand new, so take that into consideration.

im also having problems with HL2 and stuttering, and im way past due for a reformat, raptor time would be great

help me pick

edit: current system info

A64 3000+ @ 2.5GHz
6600GT
512MB ddr 400
80 and 160gb wd 8MB

36gig raptor is a waste.

but even if it wasn't i'd get the pool cue.

i vote hardware upgrade.

 

[xaeniac]

pool cue; it will last a lot longer and not get out of date like hardware

yes i play in a leauge here and our team is #2 in the leauge and i am one of the teams top players. i also do not have a cue of my own, i am borrowing one from a teammate right now.

when this guy came to town to do his show, i was the only person to accept his challenge to a 2/3 set and beat him.

sell your 6600 GT, get a 6800 GT (i saw someone selling a BFG GT for $300), and get another 512 mb stick ram of pc3200 🙂

too much hassle, the $300 card is probably gone by now, and it takes too long to get here to korea. im looking at nearly paying $100 for a stick of samsung off the street here, only good thing is taht they use the same chips as the ddr 500 memory and its on original samsung PCB, and only takes like a week or two to get from manuf -> market here. samsung is literally down the street from me.

Actually, the card is still available since the seller would not ship first to anyone. :laugh:
