thts the link :>

Are you talking about the laptop or the desktop?

Well, it's a compaq. Probably made for budget purposes, I'm assuming.

That's what I have been doing with my Asus, which was already made with gaming in mind. Even then, it has been very hard. The mobo isn't ideal, the case has horrible ventilation, and the power supply was originally really cheap.

And that was over 800 bucks.

If the compaq is too old, you'd probably need a new mobo for a new socket to fit a new processor so you could take advantage of a new gpu, with some new ram, new fans to cool it all down, and a new psu to power all of these. Shiz, I don't remember compaq making terribly good cases either. I know our old compaq doesn't, although yours is probably several steps above, since our old one was only 400 or 500 bucks.

Probably no.

But it would be nice to have a link to your model.

kk ill try to find it, my compaq is 11 years old btw :o

@$#% 11 years?!

Just forget it.
Really. D:

Get all new parts for an all new pc. Better performance, looks better, will be easier to upgrade later on, and you'll have a spare pc for doc formatting or reading floppy disks :3

Yeah, anything past 2003 is incompatible with today's computers. Trust me. I've tried.

lol well i got my mac, shuld i build a new comp, or juss run bootcamp on my mac with windows 7? :|

burn the mac, it's a waste of money. You could build a computer that's much better for half the price and put Linux on it.




Linux and Mac are both based off Unix, so they're similar operating systems.


Linux is quite a bit harder to use than Mac, though, depending on what type you choose.

alittle l8 :| i got my mac for christmas lol

Oh ok then if someone else paid for it then it's fine xD
