Welly well well...I couldn't hold it in anymore, I had to start posting even before I recieved the first peice of hardware (which will arrive in approx. 12 hrs...or less hopefully), I will however list my before and after specs and later today put some pics of the graphics card comparison.
My Dirt Poor Dell Dimension 2400 Unupgraded....shit:
NVidia Geforce4 MX 4000 128MB PCI (Walmart anyone?)
30 GB HD (7 GB free...with LC and everything deleted)
640 MB RAM
^ the only slightly good aspect is the RAM in my opinion.....
Super-Duper Dream 16 compy Upgraded:
NVidia Geforce6 6200 128MB PCI (I could've gotten a better one...but come on I want memory and a hd...besides the shit is better than hl2's recommended specs and I already run that at 60fps anyway)
250 GB USB External HD (mmmm) + 30GB Internal
1.5 GB RAM (putting the 128 into safe keeping)
+ Some Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones
I gave the MX4000 to my mom as a mother's day present
I ordered the Video Card on May 9th, my Birthday, and it arrives a little later...might be here when I wake up even, but I will get you all comparison shots of the HUGE change in look...yes my dream not yours...you laugh at me because of my 6200 PCI
