What's wrong with my PC?
Charlotte:
I suppose it turned out for the best though (*keeps telling self that* ;D) - my old motherboard only had two slots for ram and could only handle up to 2 gigs. I bought a new case with it's motherboard and processor already in it. But I'm a little bit curious about the pentium D processor - I can't seem to find any of them around, the one in my "fried" computer had a 2.8 dual core pentium D, were they a weak model or something? I read somewhere that the problem with my computer could be processor related too (??)
KatEnigma:
The pentium D's were simply replaced by the Duos. They weren't bad,exactly, the Duo's are just newer technology and better. Your problem is unlikely to be a processor problem.
Charlotte:
That's good, I could keep it here and keep it later for a project or something when I get more familiar with computers - I also bought a anti static wrist strap, I should've done that before I opened my computer case *duh* I got too keen I think.
One last question: Is AMD okay? I've only ever had computers with intel processors in them. The new one has a AMD Athlon Dual Core 4800 - I haven't confirmed or paid for the order yet, I just really want to make sure first.
KatEnigma:
AMD is fine- it's what I have, in fact. :D Intel's top processors ARE faster than AMD's top processors, but they are also more expensive. At anything other than the top price points, you get a faster processor for your money if you go with AMD.
Charlotte:
I couldn't find a pentium, even a second hand one, anywhere within my budget - let alone one that was already attached to the motherboard. The most demanding game I'll ever play in the meantime would be sims related ie. simcity, tycoon city, etc. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it :D
