Soback Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hi everyone. I haven't visited the boards for 3 days. Got a little bit of a problem with my computer. I was trying to change the 3d card and burned out my motherboard. Can't tell the story right now (don't have much time). Anyway, since I don't have a computer I decided to build a new system and should have it up and running by wedneday or thursday. Also I am taking this "opportunity" to upgrade to P4 1.6 with a GF3 card, so I guess in a way it all works out for the best and right in time for BCM. Well, talk to you all in a couple of days on my new PC. Take care, bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rtoolooze Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Good luck on your new computer. Hope it goes nice and smooth. May the Computer Gods be with you as you build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game_Ender Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Soback why don't you get a Athlon XP 1600 for 124 it is cheaper than the 1.6 P4 and faster. I also think the motherboard and RAM for Athlon come out to be cheaper than the 1.6 P4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon 5 Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Eh, haven't been on the board very much lately myself. Got my new comp and the associated problems with it. But I'm happy to think that I play ALL my games in the highest resolutions and details levels right now (all but battlezone 2...)But I can't get my ICS to work (internet conenction sharing)... I worked 4 entire hours yesterday... trying to connect the old comp with the new one, but nowe only the old one (the internet and other desktop apps machine) has the internet.

Kenada Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 ICS isnt that great of a protocol to use... if you working on a budget then sure. Its a hassle. I could never get it working either. LOL! Try setting up a VPN! Much more difficult. What version of windows is on em'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides have you appeased him by buying the latest copy of Windows and Office XP? By the way good luck on your venture, you're going to need it. I'm still trying to iron out the bugs from my last upgrade (a few weeks back?). For some reason my computer still feels way too slow for a 1.4gig athlon. Hell it even feels slower than my old pIII 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
