Saying goodbye to my old PC
Or perhaps I should be saying "good riddance!" I have an ancient Compaq Presario that I picked up at an auction six years ago, which I've barely used for the past year and a half. 1.2 Ghz processor, 4 mb video card, 512 mb RAM...the damned thing can barely run Dangerous Waters at over 10 FPS with most of the graphics options disabled!
So I'm going to do something I've been planning to do for the past year. I'm going to walk into Best Buy and walk out with the best machine $1000 can buy. No monitor, no keyboard, no fancy package deals, just a box. Finally, I'll be able to play my old games with all of the eye candy enabled without any slowdowns! Then, I'm going to buy SH3 and SH4, and play through a full "vanilla" campaign on each just to get some real subsimming experience in. No, I've never played either, becuase my setup is so old. Sad, huh?
So, wish we luck - compared to my old computer, this is going to be like strapping a warp drive on my Grandma's wheelchair! :rotfl:
