My comp blows! the end

I have a Dell Dimension 3000

It came with onboard video, 256 ram, and some more crap.

I've upgraded it to a GeForce fx5200 Video card and put in an extra gig of ram. Which gave me the ability to Play CS:S on Medium, And got about 30 frames

I also got about 10-15 frames on WoW all around. 2 Frames in Dalaran

I should be getting THIS in a week :D

But Pinata!? Why are you buying a computer when you can just build one?


Well, I thought about it, I've taken a year of Networking and Technical support with computers. Since i know myself more than any of you, I'll hit some roadblocks.

When I get it, I will tell you how it runs and everything!

I was the same way dude, pay a little more and have it fully (and correctly) assembled its the little wiring that gets you. I ordered a prebuilt myself as well.

Not everyone feels comfortable with building and installing their own systems and there is nothing wrong with that. At least you know your limitations and instead of getting in a complete jam your getting a system that will work out of the box.
