I can't. At least not today. My dad absconded to our farm. Out of the city. Also, I have no way to contact my cousin either. I don't know his cell number.

Guis, help. My dad is making me an offer that I can't (possibly) refuse. My cousin is asking for a trade. He's going to give me a desktop for my laptop.

The desktop, according to what my dad remembers:
1 GB GeForce Video Card
2x 500 GB Hard Drive
He didn't mention the RAM
And an Intel Dual Core E6600
(Vague as forget and I don't understand jack stuff about it but the numbers make me happy)

For my laptop:

A 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 7000m / nForce 610m
59.6 + 89.4 Hard Drive
3008 MB RAM
AMD Turion 64 X2

Should I accept his offer or not? There is no time limit, since my cousin was grounded from buying laptops when he broke his last year, and his dad is only allowing him the option of trade.
Get more info. At the moment it could be pretty equal.

Ok will do. When my dad gets back tomorrow morning.

Asus A-series with 4 Gb ram, but i have a 4 gb ddr3 chip already, so 6 gb.
Intigrated amd radeon 6620g, AMD A6 Quad core clocked at 1.5 ghz. Good?

relative to what

Gaming most probably?

My computer is from 2009. i7 clocked at 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD and an ATI Radeon HD 4890 that I don't use for stuff.

The computers I'm on specs.


OS: Windows XP
HD: 1x114GB
Ram: A gig or less
Processor: Intel Celeron CPU 2.80GHz
Integrated graphics card (Super cheap stuffty one that can't run the simplest things)

This computer can't run a potato attached to a speaker.

Alyx, use dxdiag to see what specs are. Also, hurray for someone having a computer stufftier than mine.

that's probably because the speaker is attached to a potato

I have almost the same computer, and it can run L4D at like, 12 FPS (so boss.)

Windows XP Professional and Vista Home Premium
2GB 400MHz DDR (1GB x 2)
200GB + 40GB IDE drives

2x 500gig ssd
Amd 6 core OC'd to 4.3
Ati radon 6500.


2x 500gig ssd

I really want an SSD but I'm going to wait seeing as how the price is supposed to drop some time soon.

how can you afford 2 500GB SSD's but you put a stuffty GPU in there?
