how to make pc better

[Mike..]

You people and your OEMs are making me sick. After buying a new PSU to support your parts correctly, new RAM to run the system better, a new GPU, as the onboard one stinks, and a new motherboard to overclock your processer you may as well just build. Honostly have there been any issues that you had to call dell for, as you couldnt find the answer here? Didnt think so.

Back on topic, heres what you need to do.

1: Buy 1GB of good RAM (PC3200 Corsair, OCZ etc
2: Buy a new PSU. A 450W should be the minimum. Look at thermaltake, they have some nice models for small prices.
3: New GPU. I assume you have an AGP slot, so I'm going to say ithor X800GTO or any 6800 series card.
4: New CPU + Mobo. Your processer is probibly a 478 celeron. A cruddy processer in a old chipset. Look at LGA775 motherboards, and a 630 prescott from Intel.

However when all is said and done your just rebuilding your rubbish system. Best to start at basics, and use your old HDD so you dont have to buy that or windows.

I do build them from the ground up on the side for my friends and a few clients. When I got my Dell was when the MOBO on my AMD 1.4Ghrz died on me. I just bought a house and have mad bills to pay to include a wife to support. My Dell was a quick fix and with whats in it I would of done myself anyway with a nicer case. I'm quite satisfied with my Dell and have had zero problems since its purchase. Of coarse if I did, I am more than capable of fixing it.............................

When I went to fit a popular Ge-force FX5200 card to my new emachines 3 years back it wouldn't fit and I bent one of them battery looking nobs on the motherboard. Stupid emachines.
If you do have one though the advantage is - its going to be better than anything you bought 5 years before.

I wouldn't have bought an alienware far better (and cheaper) to make one yourself if you have that much money to throw around.

Exactly, and they are now made by dell so we all know what that means.

You are in college, n_richardson05, and you write like you do? I'm saddened by how poorly today's youth speaks and writes. What is written by young people today is bordering on being as intelligible as cuniform was 100-plus years ago.

LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. ur. bf. gf. r. cuz. RAFLMOFLALFLOARAMOLOFLALORMANOLFLOL.

Try using complete sentences. Try the occasional capital letter in the first letter of the first word in those sentences. Try using correct punctuation. Read what you've written and decide if that's how you sound when you speak. If it isn't, rewrite it.

Don't get me started...

Fozzer and I have been warning you guys about grammar.

It was only a matter of time before this happened!

Or, perhaps more to the point, you don't mind poor writing so much if the offender is simply uneducated, in the process of education or foriegn to our native tongue of English, (the latter being a very reasonable excuse for the casual writer of the Anglo/Saxon language).

What irks me is an obvious disregard for the medium of written communication, (which indeed, has more power than the sword), whereby the offender makes the least effort possible to convey his thoughts within the accepted and legitimate boundaries of such a powerful and descriptive code as the English language.


In plain English:

Punctuation and grammar were not invented by sadistic teachers to give reason for meeting out the cane on the poor unfortunate youth of yesteryear, they were devised as an adjunct to the letter, to further provide a source of description and meaning to the text, which may otherwise be misconstrued.

Like Brett said, try it, it's fun!

A thrust of the sword, or pull of the trigger can yield an immediate, considerable effect (if I had put "affect" here, a person reading this would already be discounting my opinion). However, a stroke of the pen could have kept the weapond sheathed.

Writing tends to hang around for a while and can have significant affect (see the difference ? ) on people you may never meet ... More times than not; it's not only your sole method of contact; but can be read, again and again, without context or reference to the moment.

If you relate something poignant in writing... It will most likely outlive you. Something to ponder whilst placing paper in front of you, pen in hand (or posting on the internet).

Its the content of your words not your level of gramer compitince that makes the pen great, and this is a key board some times i hit the wrong buttons. Also you have pointed out nothing that i am not already aware of and you coments will not magicaly make me a grammer wiz over night so please keep the coments to a minimum.
So can we please get back to the point of this topic. What can i do to make my pc run faster and having some hope of running fsx.
