Re: Hopefully buying a new computer, need some advice!!!!
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 ...

Re: Hopefully buying a new computer, need some advice!!!!
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...

Re: Hopefully buying a new computer, need some advice!!!!
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

Hopefully buying a new computer, need some advice!!!!
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.

Re: Favorite AOE 3 and Other Video Game Music
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)

Re: Video games are good for children
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.
