basically similar to GEpap. PC we have now is first one we bought. We could buy a cheapie one now, but trying to figure out if its worth it versus other needs."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

My last computer was a laptop that I'd owned for three or four years, and the company that manufactured it went out of business. Then the proprietary (i.e. "difficult-to-replace") hard-drive started eating itself alive: I ran Scandisk one day, and found that I had 2% bad sectors; a week later I had 5% bad sectors; a week later I had 15% bad sectors; a week later I got a new computer.
I originally got the laptop because my first computer (a desktop that I made out of spare parts) ran into some motherboard problems -- the BIOS battery corroded.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

I hear you on the hard-drive: Mine was eating itself up too. My computer may be old, but its powerpack and hard-drive aren't.If you don't like reality, change it! me

My old parts were slow and old. Plus I noticed I had a couple of thousand dollars lying in my bank account doing nothing, so the simple solution was to buy lots of expensive new parts.
Incidently, the "left-over" parts from my upgrade ended up making a new computer for my g/f and I didn't need to buy much to fill in the gaps.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

I brought home my new copy of Civ3 and found out my comp couldn't run DirectX v8 and a trip to Circuit City followed shortly.

To play Civ. My old computer wasn't even capable of playing CivII! It was a 386, for chrissakes.

I get a new computer about every 3-4 years. My last one was custom-made by a friend of mine in MD who worked at a computer shop. It was a KMD 450 Mhz with 256 MB RAM.
I got my new computer last February. Basically, my old machine had (thanks to my roommate) gotten a virus on it, plus was clunky and riddled with some other problems. Finally, after having Civ3 and laboring through it, I had to get a new one.
So I got a Dell, dude! And I still
it.

My specs were adequate to play newer games, but I wanted better performance... and I had money to burn.
Athlon XP 1700+
512 meg RAM
GeForce 4 TI 4200 128meg
60 gig combined HD space
32x burner
Windows XP Home
my system specs... this is what I've been using since last year. I spent about $450 on my new computer.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment
