I would be better off asking a guy at work on advice concerning Computer Repairs.
Asking OP for advice in such a topic would probably Brick my system.

I could. I actually work for a company that builds custom computers for people.

Ok, I’ll ask a serious question:

Is my old desktop worth spending a few bucks to upgrade?

The current board has a P4 3.0ghz processor and supports up to 4gbs of DDR-400 ram, supports SATA drives but only has an AGP slot instead of any of the newer types. Currently, it has an old & slow 80gb IDE HD, 1gb of mismatched ram (2x256 DDR-266 & 2x256 DDR-333 with compatibility speed being at the DDR-200 level, AFAIK). It has an old Nvidia 256mb video card. Currently, HL2 is playable as long as I have it on medium settings and the dynamic flashlight shadows off. “Playable” meaning lows in the 20-30fps range.

I’m not looking for 2,000,000 fps, just something a little better - I wanna be able to enjoy BM, at the very least. I would rather upgrade than replace due to ease and cost. I would settle for a consistent 40-60fps on moderate to high settings.

So, is it worth upgrading? Are decent and compatible components going to be cheaper than upgrading to a new system?

#14

You should probably buy more usb-connectors. thats what helped my fps go up.

#15

Get one of these

or stack a couple of them for even more bungholiomarks.

#16
