      1. Tis nice, you made it?

        1. Hai honey, cool siggeh. ;)

          1. Happeh birthday nutty professor! You can haz a choice of ice cream for your present! :D :birthday:

            1. Yuuucky. It looks like a Honda Accord... and why??? Why would you buy a "Kangaroo in Africa".. :facepalm: Unlucky LG :|
            2. Shmexeh car Adam... I hope you don't have plans to rice it out :p
            3. Oooh cooleos, nice to see it's getting closer to being totally public lol. Good post Tom, but I cba signing up!
            4. Alright cheers for the info, I'll see what I can find out :)
            5. Yeah, well Ubuntu will be my temporary unless I find my XP disc. Which I also have to ask about, if I get the disc, can't I just reinstall windows?
            6. I won't be playing much high graphical games. I just need a faster PC with an nVidia graphics card so it can run CG shaders. That, and TDU. :) PS: Don't bother answering my question about running Ubuntu without XP, my ubuntu disc arrived today.. (:eek:) so now I know.
            7. Oh donkey kong. You mean that as soon as I remove the mobo I also remove my windows? :facepalm: Looks like I'll be searching for my Win XP disc.. then again, I have a Ubuntu disc on its way, can I run that without having XP installed? @Mellors, cheers, I actually realised before seeing your post! Thanks for the reminder though! :p @Judas, that should work. The ATX tower cases are pretty similar to the Dells, but I shall have a look before I decide, cheers mate. @kanniel, believe me it is possible, considering I have added up the total of my items chosen so far and it's £172 (no case or os). Thanks for the help guys, here's the list of what I've chosen so far: Motherboard: Nvidia MCP61P AM2 DDR2 Motherboard - £110 CPU: AMD Dual Core Athlon II 240 @ 2.8Ghz - Included Ram: 2GB DDR2 - Included Graphics card: 9600GT 512Mb - £56 Power Supply: 450W ATX for AMD - £16 Total cost: £172, $280 (Canadian), $271 (US) :D
            8. Yeah I started thinking about that lol... How do I know what size I need? (And clearly by your computer specs you're a PC modder/upgrader :p)
            9. @ Mellors, well my budget was between £120 and £200. From my current choices it totals at £172, so I'm quite happy. @ TDU 505, you're right.. but the amount of things I'm changing should mean that I won't have any problems. For other Dell Dimension 3000 users, if you want a good new graphics card, you'll have to get a new motherboard as the standard only accepts crappy PCI! Hence how I ended up getting the amount I'm getting now. I wanted ram and graphics card, now I'm getting that plus motherboard, psu and cpu! Upgrading a Dell is not cheap nor easy!
            10. As much as I understand your opinion, it's not what I was asking. I'd rather upgrade than build. Cheers for the thoughts anyway. Thanks a ton Judas, I knew you'd have some good links for me :)
            11. You'd think. With a new mobo I can actually get new ram! Cheaply! And a new GFX card. Just not gonna be cheap to get to that point.. :/
            12. Hey Judas, here's your time to shine: http://forum.tdu-central.com/showthread.php?p=239374 Cheers ;)

              1. Hey guys, the following sentence is a computer geeks worst nightmare. I have a Dell Dimension 3000. I'm planning to upgrade a few (well a lot probably) things so I can play games such as TDU and some others. I was hoping that someone could basically help me out, as I'm not sure what I can get.. I want to get the following: - Motherboard (current one is the standard dimension 3000 with PCI slots.. :rolleyes:) - Graphics card (nothing too amazing, a 8500GT or 9600GT maybe) - Ram (which will be for the new motherboard) - CPU (Mellors gave me a few links*) - PSU (If it's necessary, my current one is 450W) *Links: - http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/AMD-Athlon-II-X2-245-Regor-Core-S-AM3-290GHz-2MB-Cache-HT-3600MHz-65W-Retail - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128510 Thanks loads for any help you can give me :)
              2. Knight Rider 2008 ftw! (btw)

                1. Better belie- Oh no.. not again!

                  1. Tommeh! ..spongeh!

                    1. I believe that's called an epic fail. Getting beat up by men in drag. XD
