Stupid Question About one of those computer things

huntleth · 12-30-2006, 12:47 AM

exactly, i havent got the computer at the moment, i rarely use now, i guess im better just to wait for a new one rather than spend money upgrading on something ill replace within 6 months. I dont know whether building a computer is for me as i cant really justify spending extra time/effort/money on something im unlikely to make proper use of, i'll probably find me a stable build, maybe upgrade one or two things.

thanks for your help.

No, he said he wants a new CPU, and maybe a mobo if it is necessary.

Quote:

and he has never even responded anyway meaning he has never had a say...

so then why do you have the right to speak for him?

Quote:

wtf? a new CPU and a new mobo is essentially a new computer, i mean you dont get those parts just to "get you by"

Which is exactly why I said what I did.

Could you just stop? Like now? It's getting really annoying to have to point out the truth to you every 2 minutes.

Upgrading the RAM wouldn't be a bad idea, you would certainly see a performance boost. But yes, waiting is a good choice.

see i win! bobo you are one stubborn person...

and building is worth it, just buy the parts and go to your local computer store to put t together if you are scared

How do you win?

All along Bobo was saying that huntleth shouldn't upgrade his processor, and just to wait until he can buy a new computer.
You were saying to buy a computer instead of upgrading.

Don't those sound just about the same?

bobo said to ignore my building the computer suggestion... and wanted to help him upgrade, while i pushed for him to build a new computer and not upgrade

Ya but he's waiting like he originaly proposed to do. You wanted him to go out get the parts and build a computer...now. Bobo only wanted to put a few upgrades in to tide him over until he did upgrade which he was inevitably going to do.

Bobo · 12-30-2006, 03:07 AM

And he still doesn't shut up.

Could somebody please close this? The question has been answered sufficiently.

even though the thread starter is just going to wait and build like I proposed...no upgrades, yes I did answer the question and you can close it
