I need to upgrade my computer. This has become obvious in the past following days
recently my friend gave my all his old video games that he had along with the cd keys so that I could play. Included we're games like Warcraft 3+ expansion, Sid Meier's pirates, Warhammer 40k dawn of war + expansions and command and conquer. I have played most of the games and have found out that even though my computer is supposedly "new" (no it isn't custom, i bought it from future shop back in december) at the time, It can't even run games decently at high setting back from 2004-2005.
Heres my Computers settings, Don't flame me or tell my i have a bad build, Because i know that already.
Windows Vista Home Premium
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company ( HP)
Model: a6000n
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200 +2.2 GHz
Memory: 896 MB ( It was advertised as having 1 GB Ram, as a side question anyone know why there was a drop?) [Also it says that I Have 894 MB ram , which is impossible meaning something is eating my RAM, or is there? ( another side question)]
System type: 32- bit operating system
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE 430
Am I missing anything? If I am please notify me
Anyways, I need it to be cheap because I'm on a budget. It's going to be a mostly game computer ( Have to write some stuff on it during the school year) so if that matters at all... yeah.
thanks to anyone that helps
