[T3h Sorrow]

thanks Gimmi , i thought the same. everyone said the samething, its... 56mb for WoW i believe, and i have double it or what ever. so im good to go .

 

[Brandon]

Where did you get it from?

 

[jd-inflames]

Dell?

Not bad hardware for the price, but the upgradability from premade systems make it almost not worth the coin.

 

[T3h Sorrow]

this comp works great . im about to UPGRADE to xp lawl.

 

[Ignus]

not bad, just get rid of AOL, that shit will **** up your computer badly.
Also, did or didnt you get speakers? u have both up there.

 

[T3h Sorrow]

oh, i had to REFORMAT the ****er when i got it.

there must of been kiddy porn out the ass on it that ****ed their comp up.

 

[Andrew]

I think it would be smart to reformat it anyways.

 

[Ninja_Blue]

Dude, norton sucks balls, get ZoneAlarm pro, it's free and it kicks ass, it's just a anti-spyware program + firewall, but you can still play games, and it gets rid of almost ever spyware program.
I HAD 63 SPYWARE PROGRAMS ON MY COMP HOLY SHIT

 

[Ignus]

63? bah, thats nothing. Get a job cleaning and fixing up computers then you see some real problems w/ computers.

 

[Andrew]

Computers at my school get hundreds of programs. It's insane.

 

[Ninja_Blue]

School computers suck no matter what.
Those programs just give them a reason for being slow.

 

[Andrew]

They suck because of all the students get so much gunk on it. Ugh.

You should see Imperial College computers. Same specifications as my laptop (except probably the hard drives are faster), running Mandrake Linux and it feels twice as fast as my laptop.*
