Re: DUDE, show me your Dell!

Posted on 2016-06-04, 19:48

Here's mine: This poor E520 was going to be thrown in the trash. It was my grandmothers system. It lived most of its life inside a closed in desk cabinet running warm with Windows XP and 50 icons named random things such as "New Folder (3)". It also chugged along 2 expired antivirus and god knows …

Re: Core2 Q9550 Daily Driver

The older Core2Quads are still able to hang with the best of them today for the average user. The thing is, they came out at a time when what only 1-2 GB ram was common in a system? Their 4 dimm boards usually support 8-16GB though, and due to them having 4 cores, they can keep afloat and have been …

My main system is a mix of old and new. It was originally a prebuilt HP p6774y from my uncle, which he was going to throw away because it had a dead HD and dead DVD drive. It came with 6 gigs of ram. Original specs, and the items with "+" is what I added Original case Original motherboard Original …

I totally get where you are coming from in regards to not being able to relate to the game world. It's also what stopped me playing StarCraft. Part of me enjoys the original Warcraft with more authentic weapons and a bit of magic, vs War2 with the technology that is out of place in the middle ages …

Apparently many cracked versions of Windows 7/8 are upgrading and considered "genuine" too. Not sure if MS is stupid or being very clever. Let pirates upgrade so everyone is on the same platform, and then deliver ads / datamine them.

When Warcraft III was announced, everyone expected a new story, new campaigns, new music (The old Warcraft II soundtrack should win an award as one of the best PC game soundtracks of all time), etc... But instead of the charming imagery of the former, we got this ugly, poorly-animated 3D, …

Windows 11 will be a mandatory update from Windows 10 I predict. I may be beating a dead trojan horse here, but there are unsettling things straight from their privacy statement: Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails …

The mandatory updates are kind of terrifying. Microsoft gets to push whatever binary blobs it wants on to your computer and you'll have no clue clue what's in the source. That's kind of always been the case though, even though we did get to read about KBxxxxx and what files it changed, we still …

Any of you on Windows 10?

It was officially released a while ago, any of you download and install it yet? I got it running and tweaked, its decent. The start menu is improved over 8.1 but still inferior to Windows 7. It's basically Windows 8.1 with a bunch of GUI changes, a lot of it needlessly simplified to try and …

Re: Grandma's Dell E520 - A story

Posted on 2015-07-23, 11:34

Glad you all like it ! It was a fun little project and actually served as my main system for a brief period. I acquired an E520 from a customer. It was only a Pentium D820 with 512MB of RAM and integrated video, it literally shipped a day before Vista was released. I upgraded it a bit. Now its …
