how's the budget?
 
the budget is what i can get cheap. hey, im 17 and got this system for xmas. i dont have much budget, as im also trying to build a second machine, one i could hook into my lan.
 
2.6ghz
512mb of ram
and a r9700 ... I dont thing you really need any upgrades at all ....

maybe another hard drive if you are out of space ... or a dvdburner if you dont have one ... but thats a pretty sweet system otherwise

😕

If you want to hook a comuter up to your LAN.. just buy a network card ($15 at a store)


 
BTW... with those RAM slots seprated like that and there being 4 of them..

I'm willing to bet that one set is for DDRam and the other SDRam

Usually, you cannot use both simultaneously.

lol, no, this one is on the lan. but i want a second computer, so i can do ip gaming with myself. actually, it's to do things i'd be afraid to do with this machine.

no, this computer uses RD RAM. it's the Dell Dimension 8250. so i think it has 4 rimms of rd ram, but someone told me that there are special rules for rd ram.


if you're 178 you can just use your 2nd pension

the bastards retired me at 129, so no second pension 😉 actually, im 17, and had a typo...
