N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

The pro's are your best bet. I ended up spending about 4x as much as I needed in trying to fix my laptop plus hours wasted, when a tech guy did it for me in a few hours

You had this option in AOE2 iirc

Ok good. Sorry if I appear like a totally idiot with all this, but I suck with anything technical. I blame the Scottish air

OK cheers for that RJ (congrats on 1K of posts btw) This is what someone else said on another forum: "Just a couple of thoughts on the 64-bit processor. If you want to use your computer for more than about 1-2 years, I'd strongly suggest getting a 64-bit processor. You can still get the 32-bit ...

What's a PSU?

[quote=""Sporting_Lisbon""]Be careful, you wouldn't be able to use it cause of the electricity bills :p[/quote]

The uni pay all my utility bills

Thanks Jim, that is awesome of you. Time to take this to my dad and negotitate money with him :p As it stands this computer leaves me with exactly £3 :p

Hey all, cheers for the help so far. I've had a bit of a fiddle around, and got this: Processor (CPU): AMD PHENOM™ II X4 810 (2.6GHz) 8MB CACHE (Socket AM3) Memory (RAM): 4GB CORSAIR XMS2 800MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x2GB) Motherboard: ASUS® M3N72-D: DUAL DDR2, S-ATA II, 2 x PCI-Ex, 2 x PCI Operati...

I'm a noob with all this, i don't know what is needed and what isn't needed. So from that list (as I have no technical knowledge at all) could you copy and paste it, but replace the stuff which is/isn't needed, to a) save me money and b) make it all in proportion better to run games well. Many thank...

So basically that rig will run STALKER on top settings and Empire Total War on sort of medium/good settings?

Yeah someone did say the processor was a bit weak. I might fiddle with it and see if I can get a different quote with a dual one

Yeah that £639 is everything in that list, to quote them "Installation: If you order an operating system it will come fully installed with the CD and licence key"

Hey all. Firstly just wanted to say, life is really looking up for me again (taking the missus away this Easter for a 4 day break :D ) and she is really beginning to get along better after speaking to a professional. Meanwhile I am still plodding along ;) and am currently getting a bit more free tim...

Best ever intro to a game.

Age of Empires II music was so class. It is way better than AOE3's music. I used to listen to that on my CD in my walkman (now I know I am getting old, I had a walkman :S)

Bah, if it wasn't for Age of Empires I wouldn't have found history, wouldn't have gone on to study history at uni and wouldn't have met my gf who also studies history.
