[AztecWarrior]

Fuck.

I'm not going to upgrade a non-outdated machine to play one game.

Athlon AMD 1.7 GhZ
1 MB RAM
nVidia G-force 3 Ti 500
Latest drivers
Soyo MB

My dad is upgrade-happy, and wants to get me a 9800. Screw that, I'll wait for the next generation of nVidias.

ONE GAME!?!!

ITS HALF LIFE 2 BLASPHEMER!!

/SLAP

[AztecWarrior]

My main problem is that I don't see the value of a $500 upgrade to play a game, no matter how good it is. That's assuming I don't have to replace the motherboard/power supply. This machine handles the latest games (BF:V) with no problem. This machine is not obsolete, and I am not going to upgrade it at very least until summer 2005.

[OneManArmy]

wow, do you not realize that HL2 is the "latest games" ??? :huh: its not like its just one uber game

Far Cry
Doom III
Half Life 2 (and all its tasty mods!)
etc.. etc... all require a fairly good comp. its not like that trend is just going to end with them.

I mean can you even play UT2k4 decently on that?

[Baneblade]

Or PlanetSide for that matter...

[Electrofreak]

I think I'm pretty prepared... its all in the sig ('cause I'm a computer nerd like that)

edit- and yeah... Aztec man... that vid card is like... MAD OLD and sucky. Its holdin back the rest of your comp dude...

[Biohazzard56]

1MB of ram :lol:

I have a Athlon 2400+, 1 Gig of RAM, Radeon 9600XT, I should be fine christmas ill probably get a new computer.

[Indecisive]

...you mean his L1 cache.......?


I just need a new vid card and Im set.

[AztecWarrior]

My PC handles UT2k4, PlanetSide, and will handle Doom III without a hitch. And the first two were handled with 512 MB ram. Now I have one GB.

[Infernus]

I want my new system... my mom is making me sad, she won't let me finish ordering the parts... :(

And I needa send Setari his new Video Card too...

[Heavygain]

Man, if my 5700 fx ultra doesnt cut it well enough, im saying fuck HL2. no way im upgrading for a single game.

[Indecisive]

Bah, i dont get you people. This is the new standard. You wont be upgrading for hl2, you will be upgrading for all of the nextgen games.

[Baneblade]

It's not exactly a new trend either.

[OneManArmy]

ah well its not that surprising.. there are a ton of people who still have computers that can just play the original HL and its mods. (hence the sucky CS community now, which is why I think It'll improve somewhat with the new release)

sooner or later they have to upgrade, he may not see it yet but he will.

some people dont need all the eye candy turned on in a game, i do :)
