I used fraps to run some benchmarks on some really non-demanding games, and to put it into perspective, i had a max framerate of 12 on this one roblox game on high settings.

>single core shit.
get a mobo and cpu.
all fixed.
My cpu's actually a dual core. I'm trying to think whether I should just try to identify my motherboard and just upgrade and put in a gpu...
I'm on a very strict budget of $500 CAN so i think that would be better then getting a completely new pc.
inb4 someone shows up with a Pentium 4
Sounds like a computer that should be converted into a router.
Lol. I honestly don't mind the integrated graphics, but the fucking base frequency... I guess that what I get for buying a $400 pc at bestbuy or something.
Even emulating gamecube games has an unplayable framerate...
hey, watch it.
my desktop is a p4. right now i'm using my atom laptop with windows xp
Full specs?
Up until fairly recently I was using:
AMD Sempron 140 2.7ghz single core
1.25GB RAM
120GB HDD
No GPU
400 Watt dynex PSU
What is your budget?
>$400
You deserve worse
pcpartpicker.com
p4 3.2GHz
1.7GB RAM
HDD 250GB
nvidia fx-5200 256 MB
laptop is lenovo memepad
atom n270 1.6GHz
1GB RAM
hdd 160 GB
yes. i'm poor.
I had 1GB RAM, Windows XP, 140GB HDD and an old sempron until 2014
Buy a NEW 600 watt psu. No used shit.
Go on ebay, look for a decent AM3 or AM3+ motherboard.
(new can be 50$, used but in good condition can be 30 or less)
Get a cpu. Don't need to go above 6 cores unless you play a lot of dx12/vulkan games or do a lot of video transcoding.
- can be used.
- 6300 is < 50$ on ebay
Get 8gb of DDR3 ram at 1600mhz or better. (< 50$)
Get a 150$ graphics card. Ebay should be OK for this as well (cucks selling their 970s now that the 1070 is out).
evo 212 for cpu cooler (~30$)
Spend the rest of your money on a nicer case and case fans, or on more ram.
There will of course be people arguing intel builds, which is OK. I just have more experience making cheap AMD builds in that budget.
$500 canadian.
Yeah, AMD's shit is cheaper. I might just upgrade my current pc. But thanks for the suggestions.
I'll just replace the cpu and then put in a gpu. I feel like my mobo pci type is 2.0, but it doesn't matter since 3.0 is reverse compatible.(?)
With the 212, you can usually overclock the fuck out of a 6300
Intel core 2 duo t6660
2gb ram
Radeon Hd5670
550W power supply(that's good)
My last desktop had this:
4x2GBs of DDR4 RAM.
Nvidia GT210
AMD Phenom II 925
And all of that packaged together on an MSI 760gm-e51 inside a generic no-brand case with a 1TB HDD with around 3200rpm.
Now that computer is dead now, and i'm using a SONY Vaio with an Intel i5-2450m, a 500GBs HDD with who knows what speed and 6GBs of RAM. Computer used to belong to my sister until she got a new one.
Overall I feel like this is an improvement tho!
Thinkpad G40
Pentium 4 2.8ghz
1gb of pc2100 ram at 133mhz
Integrated 852M "Intel extreme graphics"
40gb 5400rpm pata hdd
The battery is long dead, the screen has dark spots, it reaches temperatures similar to solar flares, it weighs 8 pounds but danm does it make a good shitposting machine
>that pic
Nice Gurren Lagann reference
I had celeron 847 up until 2 months ago. It was working fine, 2x1.1GHz (800MHz up to 1.1), hd graphic and 4GB ram. Vbox was not fast on one core so i had to take quad but i would not change it.
> intel core2 quad q6600
>9800 GTX+
>4 GB of ram (can't hold more, because if 10 yo mainboard)
>540W power supply.
I'm desperately trying to save up some money to get a new machine (800$)
>i5 unlocked
>16gb of ram
>any graphics card for ~350$
I had same too asus am i correct? It was 1kg machine but cpu was so slow at vm or windows so finally sold it for good price
Core 2 e6850 @ 3.0ghz,
6gb ddr2 ram,
GT 640 1gb,
120gb hdd,
Some parts I beat you, some parts you beat me.

you're already a step ahead

Only thing which is remotely ok is the cpu and the monitor
windows 8.1 pro 32 bit (pirated)
intel q6600 @ 2.4 GHz (socket 775). shitty stock fan, temps idle at ~ 65 celsius
ati (yes ati) x1050 (256 MB)
3GB ram (DDR2, 266 MHz) (lived with 1GB for a year)
packard bell motherboard
Seagate 500 GB with reallocated sector count warning
acer x221w (1680x1050)
And a 300 watt generic psu.
Unfortunately yes!
