New PC addendums
Well my last post gave grasp of what happened. I bought a new PC about 2 weeks (?) ago. I’ve had the idea in mind for the longest time, but didn’t decide because I was looking for a decently priced one, with a couple of shiny things.
Anyway, I had to go to MediaMarkt to see if there were decently priced GPS’ for my dad because on the 16th is his birthday and turns 53 (which actually makes me I hope I look as good as he does at his age >_>) so I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to give a look at the PC sections (I already knew I’d get out of there with a PC, I was just lying myself).
Found an “OK” PC with some flaws, I’d knew later about that, and bought it in the end for 399€ (which in my opinion is pretty cheap compared to the end result).
Some of the flaws the PC had (and that Shina helped me solve -Thanks a bunch!!!-) were:
- Vista 32bit HomeBasic (I had no idea it was so shitty but from Shina’s words: “It’s the Vista version that Windows designed for PCs that shouldn’t run Vista)… I was like “uh oh”. Downloading Ultimate Vista 64bit see if this one actually allows me to play Windower being able to Alt+Tab.
- Integrated nVidia GeForce 7050. Fail, utterly fail with FFXI graphics. Already installed a new graphics card, a GeForce 9800 GT which is just made of win and I can’t stop fapping over it. 148€ though. >:
- To be able to actually run the new card I had to get a PSU (well, bought in advance, once again thanks to Shina’s surveillance!) because the one that came with the PC was only 230W (so got a 500W).
Anyway, just need to setup new Vista once it’s done downloading (hope to have some guidance there!) and I’ll be completely happy~
Will update about FFXI soon, but I’ve just been coming to main events lately due to being busy with school/PC, as well as having tummy aches. :c
Lucky me I have a gorgeous Galkan nurse. :3
PD: Gfx card came with Assassin’s creed (full version), it’s fun but weird to control with only Keyboard/Mouse combo and I really refuse to buy a controller.
