lol @ using an antiqued OS

I'm running a server on it so it seemed appropriate :mad:

I think just using XP would make your server run more efficient as any version of windows 2000 really sucked it up.

That also depends on the processor and memory. If the computer can't handle XP then 2000 would be a better suite for a server computer.

Erm well you see...its got 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM and still has 3 of 4 RAM slots left, and is an Intel Xeon (two big cpus)

but you see, I dont have a copy of XP with me. My options wer XP for 100 bucks, or 2000 Server for free from a friend (which when I look up has a price of 300 bucks)

Free is always a good choice.

Ah well I guess a pirated copy was out of the question so good deal around.

I want to upgrade to Vista (I have XP now) but it tells me I don't have enough RAM or some sh[size=2]i[/size]t...

that probably means you need more RAM

Yeah you cant get Windows updates with pirated copies and you get messages all over windows about it.

At least, thats what happened with one of the computers here that had a pirated copy


EDIT: lol BRA probably has like no RAM in his computer not to be able to upgrade

EDIT2: oh and the server towers were cheap because the hostpital mom works at was selling them to be recycled or something so they came with cool medical cards and stuff. Yes I have 2, but only one works atm :-\

Hey guys.

Wait another 4 or 5 months anyways.

@ vista

And that's supposed to mean what?

Any reason why? I really don't like Vista very much at all.

I dunno. Figured it would be better. My ex got it and she likes it. But I've also heard bad things...

It means your computer must suck tbh

EDIT: My siblings have Vista on their laptops. Absolutely everything you can possibly do has a security notice to it and when we tried to purchase it we were bugged by the salesman to purchase another 100 bucks in crap just to ensure Vista worked. We didn't actually purchase the extra ****, though.

Not really. It's fairly fast and I run DAW's on it and such. It's an average newer PC. I just downloaded the tool that's supposed to tell you if you can upgrade, and it said I couldn't. Reason listed: Insufficient RAM.

I couldn't believe it. Maybe I should run it again to be sure.

RAMs cheap anyways, so thats no problem. Just make sure you purchase the proper kind lol

The minimum req for vista is a gig so whatev.

Vista still sucks anyways, I'm going to have to upgrade soon because games are going to start running Vista only soon.

Isn't it usually like 80 (US) a stick or something (RAM, that is)? I know it's not horribly expensive.

That made me think about what the reqs for Starcraft 2 are gonna be :(

Stupid DX10

[QUOTE=Invicta_Veritas;15444362]Isn't it usually like 80 (US) a stick or something (RAM, that is)? I know it's not horribly expensive.[/QUOTE]

Its like $100 per GB stick last I purchased

[QUOTE]That made me think about what the reqs for Starcraft 2 are gonna be[/QUOTE]

I doubt it'll be intense, they wouldnt alienate so many people. Crysis on the other hand...hah!

Well if SC2 works for DX9 then I'll be fine without upgrading to Vista (lol are we sure its an [i]up[/i]grade?)

Vista is fine once you disable User Account controls.

I need to the new Mac OSX that just came out. ****in elite ****.

I'm looking to buy a new desktop computer... any advice? This ones served me well, but it's just out dated now.

I would customize one, if you have the money.

lol mac

[QUOTE=Anglachel;15444394]lol mac[/QUOTE]

lol much better computers than pcs.

I use both, mind you, but the mac is so much better it's funny.

By no means am I a good reviewer, or even an average reviewer, but it's blatantly obvious that Shadows' reviews are thesaurus-driven.
