Those are almost as good as mine, and mine is a year and a half

We most certainly needed this information. Especially in this section.

So basically, you come to this thread to say "I don't care."

It's not the first time he's done it.
I'm expecting him to be banned for it soon.

Good ridance.  So I fare I learned;
-He goes to threads to say "I don't care."
-Says games suck without reason.
-Religious nut who gets butthurt when you mention homoloveuality.

Tell me if I missed anything.

I suggest a Radeon HD 4650, I got mine for around 90 bucks and i'm very happy with it. of course, this was about 2 years ago, so there's most likely a better card out for the same price.

I would stick with Xp if you have Service pack 3.

LOL, no.  Only if your system is horribly outdated.

XP is becoming outdated by the day.  The only reason I didn't put Windows 7 on my old laptop was because the GPU wouldn't support Aero and that would be ugly.

Plus, you miss out on DX10 (and maybe 11 if you go for a new GPU), which is not only better for gaming but is also important because more and more games these days are going "DX10 only/DX9 not supported".

I was going to install Windows 7, but I get Code 5 error.

Plus I'm going to wait for my 1 TB hard drive.
