New Computer (Vista) [17]

Posted by Nighthawk on Aug. 23, 2007, 4:34 p.m.

Well my old computer finally called it quits. It was my fault, but the more I think of it the more I realize it was one of the dumbest things I've ever done with a computer, so I won't go into details… Okay, fine:

I downloaded from that site, and my firewall was off. Big mistake, I'll be using siteadvisor from now on:

Anyway, my new computer is nice. Here are the specs:

Processor: 2.30 Ghz Celeron

RAM: 1GB SDRAM 100mHz

Hard Drive: 250GB

Video Card: NVIDA GeForce 2

OS: Vista Home Premium

Unfortunately no more GM6 for me. I wanted XP, but no one sells computers with it anymore, and after my little mishap with my last computer, my parents won't let me do a dual boot. (Not that they would if I hadn't made that mistake. :P)

Other than the fact that it's incompatible with GM6 and some of my games, and the fact that it eats half of my GB of RAM, Vista is pretty cool. I like the way it looks as well as that sidebar. I've had no problems relating to the operating system itself yet either. I still would've preferred to get XP, but I'll be able to live with Vista for now.

Oh yes, and Element is still going. My backup files may be infected since I did it while I had the malware, but someone still has a clean copy of the source, and will be able to send it to me. (After implementing PvP! [^^]) In the mean time, I made it (another) forum!

Oh look! I'm SX rank in ST now. (Not Really) [:P]

Can you use GM7 on Vista?

Yes, just not GM6, I also can't play anything made with GM6.

Mark released an app for making GM6 games compatible with Vista…

Look for a pinned topic in The Community section of the GMC.

So, you just provided us with exactly enough information to make your components any that have been manufactured in the last 5-6 years. Great job being specific.

Those aren't specs. That's just an extremely vague description.

Using my ninja skills, I've put in the low-end estimate of your exact specs.

Ahaha, Celeron.
