more memory or second computer?

[Walleye]

well, i have some money, so i come to a dilemma.

either i buy more memory, or a second computer.

my current computer has 2 rimm slots open, so i'd have to buy 2 sticks of 256 mb RD RAM.

I want a second computer, so that i would have capabilities of lan gaming between em. i think that would be cool.

if any of you play Diablo 2, or games that require muling, you too know the advantages of a second computer.

i've gotten the price on the second computer down to 350, +100 for all the stuff i'd need to get it to interface correctly with my current computer (KVM/USB switch + cables to link it all)

im up to like 350 now, so i have to make that decision soon.

oh, and my current computer will literally OWN the second computer. the second computer has integrated everything (a7n266 VM based)

Personally, I'd go w/ the second rig

then comes the hassle of getting cash money (yes, the green stuff) from my safe to newegg..., without a credit card or bank account...

Ok, I have to ask, how do you game over a LAN with a KVM?

It's a very fast KVM.

huh? a kvm/usb switch is only to switch peripherals like monitor, keyboard, and mouse from one comp to another. not meant for gaming. i will also have to buy a networking switch, as i only have 1 wire running here from the house's main switch.

 

[Walleye]

so, memory or 2nd computer? this is a tough decision, and i need more than 1 vote.... not to belittle you or anything zim
