@cloud: well it says that it's only built for windows xp on the side of the brain so I'm not sure if I can install windows 7, to me it seem very old

so basically mac can't be upgraded ? wow that sucks

[MentalDisasterx]

confused

[Cloud Strifes]

It can, but it's a lot more expensive and bothersome than upgrading a PC.

I'd just put Windows XP on it first, run dxdiag to check the specs, and if they seem good enough install Windows 7 afterwards.

@cloud: I don't have a windows xp disk , my computer got upgraded with false software
but I can get windows 7 for 30$ as a student and try to see if it works with the computer

@cindy: hello cindy how have you been?

I'll just buy it to be on the safe side ,I got this computer upgraded to windows xp and it turns out that it was false software and I had the microsoft validation harassing my computer, luckily I managed to get that uninstalled and stopped getting windows updates.
what parts do you recommend, cause I know I can get a 1.5 terabite(sp?) harddrive at best buy

It really depends on how much you are willing to spend. I could recommend all the best parts, but it would probably cost a stupid amount of money. xd

Would you want to get a new monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers with it? Give me a money limit and I'll try and build up the best PC I can for the price. mrgreen

well the output parts I could probably use from my current computer
the price range for me would be $400-500 ,I wouldn't need a computer with a really good graphics , just one that will let me play oblivion, ram could be 3 gb or 2gb , the harddrive I could get on my own

For $500 I think you could get something that runs Oblivion pretty smoothly.

Here's a list of components broken down that would probably meet your budget:

CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E6750 2.66Ghz - $145
Motherboard: ASUS P5G41-M Intel G41 Express - $65
RAM: KINGSTON Twin Pack 2x2 gig (4gig Total) DDR2 800Mhz - $115
DVD Drive: LITE-ON 24x BLACK SATA DVD/CD ReWritable Drive IHAS324 - $25
Graphics Card: ATi Radeon HD5670 - $120
Case: Infinity B12BR mATX Tower - $20
Power Supply: Huntkey 450watt PSU - $60

All together that comes to around $545 Australian which converted comes to about $500 USD, right on your budget. xd

With that PC you'd be able to run Oblivion on High Detail no problem as well as be able to play all the recent games that are coming out now.

To answer your question about Dragon Age, it's great, truly my favourite game of last year, Almost as good as Oblivion imo. mrgreen

It's crazy that a computer with specs like that a four years ago would cost 2 grand.

That's pretty true, the PC I'm using is about 4 years old and pretty close to these specs, it costed me about $1700 at the time. xd

My laptop cost $800 4 years ago and it only has 512MB RAM, 1.8GHz processor and a 60gb HDD. I have upgraded it to a 160 GB HDD since, but that is because the old one died. I could probably up my ram to 2GB for $100 too, but still, net books now a days are more powerful than this thing for half the price.

Those are Mac books. xd
On my computer all you need is a screw driver to upgrade the hard drive and ram. You need a lot more ingenuity to upgrade a processor or a graphics card though. Much harder to do things like that on a laptop than a desk top.

Desktops are cheaper, easier to upgrade and more powerful, but laptops are portable and more convenient.
