what this guy said. I expect my computer to last at least 4 years before I switch out the graphics card for a newer one or buy a twin to my current and run sli.lotr rocks 0 said:
Thats why you wait until the new model comes out, then buy the old one that stores are trying to get rid of on huge sales.hooksashands said:
In certain cases, the demos for PSN games are simply chopped down versions of the full game. In essence, you download the full game but it only lets you play a small part. I like that version since, if I want to unlock the full one, its just a few simple button presses. But the drawback is, as you said, you need an update before you can even try the demo.Ne1butme said:
Just ones that meet the minimum system requirements. One of those doesn't even have a 2ghz processor. I don't even think you'll get it to run on an E-450(1.65GHz). That processor is intended for cubicle work. Having it do much of anything outside of Office will kill it. Both of them also for some stupid reason have miss matched RAM so you're not even getting duel channel benefits. How about go to the Gaming PC section of New Egg and look them up their. You'll find some a for about 500$ but 2 years ago I'd probably tack on another 500 and to get a PC that would play Skyrim from 2 years ago would bell well into the 1200+ range.JET1971 said:
As for cars and houses, those come with warranties that protect you when that sort of thing happen and, yes, consoles can crap out leaving you out in the cold. But the price tag of a console is 250 bucks right now. They usually top out when they are new at 500 bucks. At least when I was PC gaming, if you wanted to play the latest games, you were gonna need to drop at least 700. I dropped that and put an average of 250 every year just to keep it up to date to play the new games, I was only going for the bare minimum. My console could have crapped out every year I and cost me as much just to keep the PC up to date in the same time frame minus the big splurge at the beginning.JET1971 said:
Can't be bothered to sift through 6 pages of bile on my break. SorryPoisoned Al said:
if you're playing at 720 or 1080 it will run circles around the Xbox 360, and since most games are a port of console titles(which are made to run on six year old hardware) this should give you everything you will need for the next two or three years(at which time new consoles come out).medv4380 said:
I'm starting to think PCs are cheaper in the UK because my comp is just over a year old and set me back just over a thousand USD (not counting the HD that failed after a year and needed to be replaced, a decent mouse ect.) but is a piece of garbage that cant manage medium settings on anything nice looking.Scrumpmonkey said:The Almighty Aardvark said:gphjr14 said:ಠ_ಠ not this myth again. Seriously folks. This shit gets OLD. I can run Skyrim on custom high (some settings tweaked/modded) on a PC from early 2009 that cost me £600. Not being able to find something for under $1500 (£1000) is just pain baffling.Terminate421 said:
I could knock you up a system for £300-£400 that would beat the pants of Skyrim on med/high. Infact Scan (UK supplier but still an example) is selling a system that has 100% of bits you would need (including HDDs, Disk Drives etc etc) for £500 that is actually very high end. So if you bought a £100 GPU that's a full high end system for £600. That took me all of 30 seconds.
They are inherently old though. GO GO GADGET WII U!trollpwner said:
