How to make a server out of an old comp?

What can I do to make my comp a good gaming comp?

  • Hey, my comp's pretty decent it can play games like WoW and **** like that but it can't play games like fallout 3. I wanna start playing games on my comp so I can mod them but I don't know what I need to improve on my comp to make it better. My comp's specs are the following - AMD Athlon[tm] 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.20 GHz, 960 MB of RAM (I don't know if that's all my specs that's just what it says under performance and maintenance) I'll probably need a new graphics card and **** like that. Please tell me what products you recommend and/or what I need to buy.

  • Answer:

    960 MB of ram is not going to be able to play any of the newer PC games that are coming out. You need at least 1.5 GB ram and a Ge Force card. Go to your local futureshop or bestbuy and ask them for some help.

Hmm, I'd highly suggest more RAM!! 4 gigs is the max you want to get. So I'd go with 4Gb of gaming ram. Make sure it will be fully supported of course. But..yea, i'd suggest building a new one using www.newegg.com (site to buy parts) would be cheaper than going out and buying alienware (A LOT CHEAPER) if you cant build it find a firned that can and have him help.

thats a old system i suggest you get a new one by building one at newegg.com(or whatever you use) and if you dont want to build one go to www.ibuypower.com if your on a budget build go with amd and ati :)

If you want to play games like fallout3 on maximum settings then you are probably looking at getting a better processor 2.5 Ghz + and as you suggested a better graphic card. I would recommend one of Nvidia' Geforce GTX.

Upgrade your RAM by 1 GB. I'd lean with the nVidia GeForce 7600 for the graphics card if ur on a budget. If ur not get the GeForce 9800 GTS, it's very high end. Clean out you're computer from software you don't use. Download GameBooster. It's a program that frees up resources when u start gaming.
