You meet all of the requirements. You should get rid of the sdram and replace it with ddram, will make your comp go even faster.

Rick Reeno 02-26-2005, 02:17 AM go to a computer shop, buy the ram and let them do the install

kepsy 02-26-2005, 03:03 AM iight cool, just have to clean out the **** L M F A O ! :rofl:
don't need to clean the ****. all they do is open the case, take out the old ram, plug in the new one and you're all set. now share those ****!!!
julDilla 02-26-2005, 03:28 AM don't need to clean the ****. all they do is open the case, take out the old ram, plug in the new one and you're all set. now share those ****!!!
i was just joking, i doubt i have any its a family PC :D
but i do have over 50gigs of boxing fights
.::|ULTIMATE|::. 02-26-2005, 03:33 AM First of all DDR is a type of SDRAM.... so no dont go out an buy any other kind of ram. You are good. You can buy more (as in capacity not another type) if you like but i doubt you will actually see much benefit unless the games you play keep your hard drive working a lot. (lots of rumbling and yellow hard drive light on ur computer case and lots of waiting)
Secondly...
Your computer seems to meet all those specs except the video card is your only question mark since its not listed in the front of ur pc.
To find out what kind of video card your computer has you can do the following,
1) Right click anywhere on the desktop
2) Click on Properties
3) Go to the Settings tab
4) Click on Advanced
5) Go to the Adapter tab
Thats it it will tell you there what your video card is and how much memory it has.
Guys its not a good idea to say he meets the requirements if he really doesnt, he didnt mention his video card therefore it was impossible to give a definitive answer like some of you did.
julDilla 02-26-2005, 03:58 AM man are you sure your mexican? its rare to see mexicans with a computer yet alone know anythig na bout them :D
well here we go
VIA/S3G KM400/KN400
Memory Size: 64 MB

LOL as Mexican as they come man, I just got a computer early on and was fascinated by them. :D Yes yes... I might be the first Mexican Nerd you've ever talked to hahahahaha.
Ok now for your video card:
and im gonna sugar coat it, your video card sucks :D
But i will tell you why, It is an integrated video card, meaning it is hardwired into your motherboard. These type of graphics components are generally poorer than anything you can get that isnt integrated into the motherboard.
You will probably barely get by on it but you wont be able to truely immerse your self in the awesome graphics such a title has (rome: Total war).
My recommendation when you can is to pop off the cover (left side cover sually unless its a whole piece that wraps around) easily removed by a few screws. Then check for a brown slot called an AGP slot. (dont worry if you got one it will be the only brown slot there).
Then go to the store and buy a decent AGP 4x/8x video card if you do have the slot. Which will run you about 160 dollars for the cheapest yet worthwile card.
Here is one that would be compatible with your PC if you do have an AGP slot:

Sounds like the flux capasitor in your hard drive may be acting up, you'll have to re-rought the encriptions.....

how does that bose sound?
.::|ULTIMATE|::. 02-26-2005, 08:39 PM how does that bose sound?
Frankly it sounds awesome man, they compliment my collection of Mp3s and any movies/fights I watch very well.
In a modern fight for example every punch the subwoofer puts out very nice crisp thumps on the punches and the speakers surround you with the people cheering. :D
They used to be in the Living room in our old house but since we just bought a new house and dont wanna hang wires all over the place i put them up in my room till we can hire someone to wire the living room for us :D

My bad.Your spanish seems pretty good though.
kepsy 02-27-2005, 06:26 PM My bad.Your spanish seems pretty good though.
Just because I went to a Spanish founded University, and our batch were the last ones to be forced to study spanish before it became an optional study. Retained a bit of it I guess... most importantly "cerveza por favor" lmao...
You see that video where they were showing pac training? He spoke Spanish too. A lot of the people in the Southern part of the Philippines speak spanish fluently. Kadyo can probably converse with you guys.
LuKahnLi 02-28-2005, 08:59 AM ok theres this computer game that i want to play, these are the Minimum Requirements:
P1GHz
256MB RAM
64MB 3D accelerator
8xCD-ROM
2.9GB free disk space
how can i find out what my computer has?
ok im not a genious but this is what reads on front of my computer
2800 +(2.08GHz)
AMD Athion XP Proccessor
512MB PC2700
DDR SDRAM memory
120GB 7200RPM
Ultra DMA hard drive
CD-RW drive
48x24x48x max. speed
DVD-ROM drive
16x max. speed
the game is called Rome: Total War dont know if any of you have it
You should be able to play it. My only concern is the amount of RAM you have. When you have a 2Ghz processor, you should have at least 50% more RAM than that.

So if kadyo speaks spanish then his sisters speak spanish also.I think im considering him for my cunado. Saca las cervezas para tomar.
