I got a dell dude, I just bought my notebook and have no more dell credit. It would be different if I didnt just drop over a grand on a computer...a computer that wont run the new version of the game. If i really really could afford a new computer...I really really would buy one and would really really have not posted a 'see ya later' post.

And morph...I am not a call girl

Well, I didnt take too much offense, no worries.

That motherboard does have onboard, but the 427 comes with a 5200fx. When buying crappy motherboards I always try to get them with onboard video. Easier to put in other peoples computers when I dont want them anymore. Keeping a computer up to date is all about being able to build and sell upgrades to your neighbors.

The 300 is for a 100 dollar el cheapo mb and chip combo, 75 dollars for ram, 25 for the case and ps, 50 for 20gb harddrive and 50 dollars for the 5200fx vid card. This one you have to put together yourself.

Sorry, Golfer, it sure is disappointing when our computers don't support the latest whatever we need. Good news is eventually you'll have more enjoyment with better system.

I used to complain mightily about upgrades forced by leading edge games. But I have to admit everything works better with better tools.

Hope everything works out for you and you can rejoin Aces High soon.

... i'll try AH2 again. Some lesser machines seem to be runnin, back to the drawing board.

and what is that crap about the computer is fine the video card is not? Its a laptop!

Sorry about the crying though, thought you were ditching cause you refused to upgrade.

Oh wait....

Golfer · « **Reply #22 on:** June 06, 2004, 02:45:55 PM »

there is a difference between refusing to upgrade and not having the cash to drop for a new fancy desktop.

If I had the money I'd have a Gulfstream V, my own space station, an aircraft carrier, own every warbird in existance and have my own soverign nation. I'd also have a computer that would run AH2.

I'd like all those things, and I am not refusing to get them...I just can't afford them. dick.

I dont know golfer, I have built 3 systems in the last week that all cost less than 200 dollars (mostly used parts out of dumpsters) that all run ah2. Why do you think you need a 'fancy' desktop?
