What's bad about my computer?

[Flubbman]

I am saving my money for a new computer, but I'm just wondering what it is in my computer that's making it so uncompatible with gaming. Here are the specs:

Manufacturer: Fujitsu Siemens
Model: MS-6585
BIOS: V 1.00
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

ram, socket, single core, probably onboard gpu... pretty much everything.

[(Hit Man)]

RAM.

[Shocklink]

Im surprised you even called that a computer...

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

All of the above makes your computer worthless.

CPU only thing half decent but get rid of it anyway.

Everything has been said.

I don't usually call it a computer, I like to call it a scrap heap, because it is a scrap heap. Well, I guess I should try to get some of my old games sold then.

I guess you could overclock your CPU and recycle the ram, maybe the mobo too, but everything else is stuff.

[Flubbman]

No. I'm getting a new one.

No you couldn't its all garbage

[alex dude]

Your processor seems decent, It looks like you don't have much ram. This one has 4 gigs in but has a bad processor :c
I'm also getting a new computer in a few days :o

Your processor seems decent

His processor is from 2004 at the latest. It's garbage; don't look at the clock speed to determine CPU quality.

As has been said, your computer is bad for gaming because it is just way too old.

Never heard of them.

Model: MS-6585

Also says nothing.

BIOS: V 1.00

Ok, I think I might be one of the few on this forums who doesn't know what that means.

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz

That's good. I've been using a single-core 2.1 GHz processor for games, and it works just fine with most games.

Memory: 512MB RAM

There's your problem. You need atleast 3 Gigs of RAM.

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

You could always update that. I use DirectX 11.

[Flubbman]

For your information, our computer is from 2003 and we haven't got any new components since then. That's a decent reason for it being so stuffty, right?

Holy crap, please don't comment when you don't know what you're talking about.

Being old and horribly outdated is the main reason a computer becomes stuffty.
