Bought a new PC

[///M 75]

Pretty sweet, I bought me an Aurora Alienware.

Keep in mind Im not the kind of person that will build a computer or all of that.

 

 

Anyways.... just thought I'd let you know. Bought it for three reasons: One I'm tired of my laptop, two I want to play Starcraft2/Diablo3 and Three I always wanted an Alienware they look sexy thats all I really care about.

Being able to do what I want to do with my computer and liking it.

:)

 

I got it in Black and Blue... cant remember if it was aqua or dark blue, my girlfriend picked the colors.

[///M 75]

would of been 799 but I had to get damn Microsoft word bullshit ......

 

 

So not that much in my opinion.

[Ruler of War 169]

Yea not that bad I expected a higher price.... you got a good deal... still 400$ for a case... lol jk jk it looks nice how does it run?

[///M 75]

Its at Phase 5 as of last night

I havent checked the progress today

 

But it should be here AT THE LATEST on tuesday :)

 

 

 

and fuck i LOVE the case

[Ratatosk 0]

vouche, the cases are designed very well.

I wish I could afford to buy a alienware computer, but my girlfriend.. sucks the money right out of my wallet :) I don't know if anyone else ever gets this problem.

[Ruler of War 169]

If I wanted an alien ware case im pretty sure I could find one on ebay for like 40$ lol...

 

 

As for your girlfriend problem, yea we all have that problem....

[///M 75]

Not mine :)

mine is a penny saver haha

[ShadowScourge 61]

You only have 2gb of ram?

HIGHLY reccomend upgrading to AT LEAST 4gb. Those are linked. If you can afford it, go higher. o_o

[///M 75]

hah...

All i need is my wc3/d3/sc2/dirt2

 

2gb is enough

[ShadowScourge 61]

Vista takes up 1gb already... With 2gb, you can't even load up cd images at a decent rate. I'm running my bare minimum: IM, music, and browser, and i'm use 42% of my 4gb memory...

There's nothing wrong with 2gb, but just a friendly reccomendation to bump it up a bit. :o

 

SC2 and D3 will have comparable or better graphics and engine than WoW, which means more memory.

The system req. for WoW is listed below.

Minimum: 512 MB RAM (1GB for Vista users)

Recommended: 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista users)

 

Either way, it's up to you. :o

[///M 75]

I understand your trying to help and all but keep in mind Im also working 48+ hours a week, and I have a girlfriend.

Ill play a game once in a while.

 

 

Even if I wanted to upgrade i wouldnt know how haha :o

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Hmmmmmm.

Now you're making me want to get better.

 

But could those work on my laptop?

[JoshJayK 16,648]

Hmmmmmm.

Now you're making me want to get better.

 

But could those work on my laptop?

[ShadowScourge 61]

No, you're going to have to get laptop memory. And it's usually harder to open up and mod a laptop, although completely doable.

[///M 75]

...

alright ,

 

if my computer doesnt run as well as I want too I should buy one of those ram things right?

theyre like 40 bucks and i just take out my old one and put the new one in?

right?

[ShadowScourge 61]

Well, if you try to open up too many things and it slows down alot, i guess? o_o

Come back and ask people if/when that does happen. :D

for what if he isn't running t 64 bit he wont be able to use all 4 gigs, and on top of that 2 gigs is just fine for vista 32 window 7 32 even better. so 4 gigs really isnt needed most people wont even use more then 32% of there ram at one time. When will people learn only time you need to worries about ram is when your under requirements 3 gigs is the max you can run on 32 bit. even thou if you do the math 4 gigs should be able to be used in 32 its a Microsoft thing. your fine with 2 gigs don't listen to people that they don't know what there talking about.

[ShadowScourge 61]

...Thanks for insulting me. Truly mature. Especially without good English. It makes you seem like you know what you're talking about. Alot more than me.

[Ruler of War 169]

Upgrading a laptop (at least the ram) isn't that hard.... most of the time you simply undo two or 3 screws on the bottom and pull out the little plastic plate and insert the ram accordingly... at least thats how it is with the 4 laptops laying around my house.....

[ShadowScourge 61]

Okay, yea, it's not that bad. I just hate taking off the bottom. >_>
