Got a new PC, any good?

It has an 320 GB HDD + my old 190 GB HDD, Windows XP Professional and a CD/DVD burner.
It is a Desktop PC, I don't remember what brand..Intel(R) Pentinum(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
Clockspeed: 2.82 GHz, 2.00 GB
with an nVidea graphics card.Is this any good? :P

no, the core duo is ancient, and 320GB won't last very long.

It's average. Did I not see a graphics card?Processor should last a year or two before games need a stronger one.

That is true, games are like 7 GB nowadays.

Loonylion · #2no, the core duo is ancient, and 320GB won't last very long.

They said it was a decent PC for business things.It is pretty much like this laptop, they said.The laptop has
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHzSo I expect the PC to be somewhat the same.And this laptop has 111 GB and it lasted long already.And don't worry, first thing I do is install Anti Virus software if they didn't already :P

I don't use it for games.And I don't know anything about the graphics card.

Probably means it's integrated.You said your 11 right? What else could you possibly need a pc for O_o.Well if your not gonna play games on it it'll last forever.

I do Visual Basic (yes beginning to understand it lol) and batch and alot more.It is no gaming-based PC but I like playing games sometimes.I guess when I have all my tools and Windows it will have somewhat 300 GB left I think.Plus I have another 190 GB HDD so I can store alot more.That will be a total of....*counts*....510 GB.

I stick with windows XP sp3 + web updates over any windows vista are 7s iv ever tryed ,No one needs that much pluging up the plug hole lol!I don't like PC games , Emulators sometimes do better for over consolsAny yes anyone should install a good virus program strate after a clean instill of windows, like free avast!, it's done very well for meHave to ever try formating a flash drive on vista are 7s ? slowww , Try that with XP extream fastYou have your HDDs on master and slave drive ?, you ownly need 10gb for installment and updates , That leave's you with half a TB 500GB+ what are you takling about you should be able to run a Pcsx2 emu with games like final fantasy X ... + good videocard mabe like nvidia are ati , if its a onbord intel it might be good enuth

It's Intel, yes. And it has XP.I hope this PC can run N64, PSX, NDS, GBA and such.And yes I tried formatting a flash drive on Vista. Very slow without Quick Format.
Yes, I tried it also on XP and it was like 30 times faster.Yes I have two HDDs. Both clean (yeah the master drive with maybe an antivirus and Windows, drivers and stuff).And are not much PCs able to run PS2 or something... ???And I don't like PC games either, just the Sims and such. I use the PC more for programming, and from my experience it requires a good computer to compile your projects fast in Visual Basic Express 2010. When coding SMFTools, I used XP. It ran without problems. Now SMFTools has become Vista-based, since the version coded with XP didn't work correctly with Vista.

Actually I only care about the earlier systems :PNDS was just for if my card breaks or something happens to it (you never know :-\).As for programming...it's pretty simple.I just copy parts of code from Googling and try to understand what the code does together in Visual Basic.In Batch I just code what comes to mind without using Google or anything else.

You could probably run Gamecube games

I use my Wii for that. And with da burner inside, I can burn the games instead of doing that with the laptop! ;D

aren't gamecube games on little discs?

I use full-size discs and they work fine with Drivekey.
