It's funny, but it brings up why I hate Nintendo's forum.

Can ANYONE type properly on that site?

IF ALL GOES WELL, the 360 will die before Oblivion comes out, possibly making it come to the PS3...but that is petty unlikely even if the 360 does fail...

It can barely play Diablo 2 and lags on Starcraft. >.>
Something like...

333mhz Pentium 2
8mb ATI 3D Rage GFX Card
128mb RAM(which, is actually not too shabby)

and like everything else is just stuff that's like hooked up to the motherboard that I have no idea what it is.
It has decent amount of space though, something like 45gbs...because I bought a new HD >.>

Uhh, dude, I hate to break it to you, but that is pretty shabby. My other computer has 248 MB RAM and it can't play most games...

When compared to the rest of computer... <.<
Plus, I know someone who plays quite a lot of games and has the same amount of ram...

Yes you do, Monkey. Me.

But my specs are.........



1200 mhz Pentium 3
8 mb 3d card, don't even use it
128 mb RAM
40 gb HD
Win98 SE [had to add that ^_^]



But then again, I play mostly DOS games, which are meant for computers with an eleventh of the power that my comp has....

333 MHz?  Wow.  Get a new computer...please.  128 MB of RAM isn't exactly bad, but you could do better.  Video card....I'll just say no more...

I've been asking for years, but, alas, my family is full of poor bastards...although, it seems, that my dad is letting me build a computer starting next month. =)

I would recommend adding onto it a Cobra EZQ 200GB external Hard Drive.  Talk about space to spare!
Title: Best reason to buy a 360 now
Post by: Superyoshi on November 29, 2005, 03:14:42 pm
Nah, they're a waste of money.  Why even bother getting an external hard drive if you know how to build your own computer? (assuming you do from your previous post).

Aren't externals portable though?

edit: well at least I know some are. . .
Title: Best reason to buy a 360 now
Post by: Superyoshi on November 29, 2005, 03:46:35 pm
Yes, but they're much more expensive than internal.  Just get a CD burner if you want portable files.
Title: Best reason to buy a 360 now
Post by: Byte Man Zero on November 29, 2005, 03:50:25 pm
Over time, though, CD's clutter up the place.  HD's are much safer for the environment!

HA HA HA!!!  That sounds like my last computer.  I had that baby for a loooooooong time.  Finally got rid of it 2 years ago.  Heh, the newest game that I could get to work on it was like, The Sims, and it ran like crap.

CJMErl: My computer's newer (Pent. 4 w/ WinXP), but the onyl real computer games I play on it are the "You Don't Know JACK" trivia games.  Everything else is *ZOMGROMS*.

Yami CJMErl: We HAD Sonic R for it at one time, but we got rid of it once we got Gems Collection for GCN.
