I have this old ass computer my uncle gave to me, and it just isn't cutting it anymore.
I can't even watch HD videos on YouTube. Barely ever can I watch one in 480.
It tends to freeze up from time to time if I have like, maybe 5 programs running.
Regardless of all of that, I desperately need a new computer. But they're too expensive for what they're offering and it's just junk. I'd rather add parts myself.
But I have no idea how to do that, since I don't think I can just buy something and expect it to work with what I've got right now.
Currently I have,
100gb. I made another partition with 10gigs for my music which is already full, I've got 75.38gigs left on my C:\ from movies and what not.
1.10Ghz, 768Mb RAM, AMD Athlon Processor.
MAXTOR STM3120814A Hard drive.
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 display, Creative Sound Blaster PCI audio.
Compaq computer.
Windows XP 2002 w/ SP3.
That's as much as I know about it.
Money isn't really an issue, I just don't wanna pay a ridiculous price. I'm not a PC gamer so it doesn't need to be anything too extreme.
I planned on upgrading to Windows 7 though, 64 bit. Possibly. Since I've heard 32 is better, but that's just what I've read around.
Thanks.
