Hey Sup Forumsros I just got this really old hand me down computer from my cousin. It's a emachines. He says this is great for playing computer games.
As you can see I have software from 2002 on it. I just want to know if these specs can run games like Flight Simulator X or h1z1?
Thanks.
You can't run shit besides email dude
fuck no you aren't running those games on it wtf
...
And to think he was going to charge me thirty bucks for this. The startup is pretty quick, same with browsing the internet. What would you suggest when it comes to gaming PCs?
Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. That's all you'll ever need.
This. Might as well get rid of Windows and install an XFCE on it.
I'm just an idiot when it comes to computers. I'm tired of my Playstation 4 and have been looking for a PC, but since I don't know shit about them I have been intimidated to actually got out and buy one. I don't want my first gaming PC to be shit.
FSX draws pretty heavily on the graphics card, should be ok unless you want everything set to ultra... then you may blow something up.
Its not a perfect rig, but it beats my 15 year old potato.
you think he knows how to use unix when hes asking us if his specs are good enough for games wtf lol
I browse the internet on a 15 year old laptop with no hard drive lol it runs puppy Linux 5.28 off a CD decently tho
What is unix?
I'm pretty sure the newer smart phones are more powerful than this but for 30 bucks it gets you on Sup Forums so chalk it up as a win. Save for a real computer
No. But one could always learn. Would also run 100x better than Windows with those specs.
Should I install linux instead?
user I'll send you a newer laptop I have laying around post burner email
Yeah..
Mine I mostly use for browsing and work. It runs old games pretty well, Killing Floor and Civ and shit like that.
Biggest problem is the 10 inch screen that I bought back in the 90s I've got it hooked to, but I'm too much of a tightwad to upgrade it.
Is it a 64bit or 32bit system?
I'm definitely not giving a Sup Forums rando my email and address. Sorry if you're genuinely a good person, if you are I appreciate your generosity.
How do I look that up?
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
It'll be under "general"
No worries I understand. I do IT stuff and have a bunch if older 2010 or so laptops. Figured I'd offer to help out
>What is Google
Fucking retard.
It brought me to the page I posted a picture of. I'll just say 64 bit....
a sempron should be good enough for CS:GO at least
Make a throw away e-mail, Have user deliver it to your nearest fed-ex or ups and go pick it up. It doesn't have to be delivered to your house.
Bro this computer is too old I did try googling and nothing came up that's why I am here praying I get answers from people who are knowledgeable on PCs
What would I need to do to make this computer be able to run h1z1 and games like that?
>listening to people on Sup Forums and doing irreversible damage to your PC
Your computer is worth less than 10 dollars. I'd be surprised if it could run Runescape.
play vanilla wow
Get a USB thumb drive and try it live first. Then if you like it you can install it and get rid of windows.
No you damn potato. You look up the minimum requirements for the games. Compare those to the specs of the PC, or in you case, toaster, and there you go.
Dude just create a new email address and contact him through that. You can have him ship it to anywhere. What's the worst that happens. A ninja waits a your post office for days on end to strike?
>Being this retarded
Thanks. Any suggestions on a gaming PC I should look at?
Play Scorched Earth faggot. It's freeware from the '90's. It's the shit!! Seriously see if you can download it from somewhere.
There is almost no chance a 2002 xp emachine is 64 bit. I don't even know why that guy asked
fuck it
[email protected]
Yeah he's right, I wasn't thinking about the year. Definitely get 32-bit.
I may be wrong but isn't 2002 the date of the xp build not the machine itself?
Thanks
You could look on Newegg. I built my pc but you can find pre-builts there.
It might run decent on older games, but you aren't going to run GTA 5 on that LOL
Also, is there an installed video card or is it integrated?
A good hard drive and graphics card is all I really need right?
>thinking watching Linus drop things makes you a PC expert
I'm not sure when I look up the specs on the computer that is all that pops up. It's so old I can't even find a good link on google about this piece of shit.
Nobody here claimed to be a PC expert lol. Stupid cunt.
Go on Hardware
Click device manager
and look under display adapter
For what you want, literally anything new is 10x better than that shitbox. Since you have somehow survived to this point without understanding anything about the technology you use daily, I suggest you just go to the website of the games you want to play, click recommended specs and the print the page. Take those pages to a local computer shop and ask for a computer that meets all of those stats. If it costs more than 800 bucks tell the guy to stop ripping you off. What you want to play is pleb level shit that could be handled half a decade ago. So don't listen to any bs about what you might need in the future. You didn't need anything up until now, so you won't need an upgrade to an 800 dollar machine until it's obsolete like that POS you have now.
the main roadblock is its a single core processor with about 4k of cache
It was shit when it was new.
No you cant run h1zi or Flight Sim x
fuck outta here
Nvidia Geforce 6100 it didn't specify if it was integrated or not
This you daft cunt.
Well if I tell them to "Stop ripping me off" I'm sure the guy definitely won't take me serious in the first place since I already don't know since about PCs. Plus that is just insulting. And when I have looked for a PC. Alienware was just 1500 took expensive and CyberPowerPC's are shitted on all of the forums. So any help with brand names would be appreciated.
It's integrated and so bad it won't even play high definition video
Asus, MSI, IBuyPower, ABS Gaming....
Here user start with this.
OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64 bit only)
Processor: Intel i5 Quad Core or higher / AMD Phenom II X6 or higher
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: nVidia GeForce GTX 960 series or higher / AMD Radeon R9 280X series or higher
DirectX: Version 10
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 20 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible Sound Card
You asked about H1Z1 so here are the current recommended specs to play the game. When you start shopping, use these specs as guide.
That's why I said a local store. Small business owners will usually tell you the truth. The brand doesn't matter, it's the components inside that matter. You don't need a good pc so all the ones ppl shit on for not being top of the line are fine for you. Goddammit I'll fucking link you, you lazy fuck.
Yeah it won't even let me play Porn
And 30 seconds later here: m.newegg.com
Thanks I'm going to check on Newegg right now
It's not a gaming pc. End of story. This...is a gaming pc.
For thirty bucks you can easily find some second hand shit that will be far better for that.
Yeah he can't figure out the system specs, but he's going to build he own? I think you took an extra autism pill this morning.
DON'T GO NVIDIA OR INTEL. I went AMD. They are really taking off, especially with their new pretty much intel processors but half the price. Same with most of their graphics cards. I'll send you a link to an Amazon list I made...
Pretty cheap fampai
True. I mean if you watch enough YouTube on how to put one together you can...how do you like the build regardless?
Meant to be
L2 dxdiag, jesus christ. Are any of you fags over 14?
If you have a ps4, i'm assuming you can afford a proper pc. Does your friend live in the slums, trying to sell you a pc with those specs? It's been a while since i saw someone with 2 gigs of ram
And I know if I invest this much now I will be saving a shit ton of money yearly so I won't be renewing my psn account. But fuck that's a lot... I was thinking 600...
>Falling for this shitty bait
I've got a cheaper one
Ik
Thank you
check out emuparadise
get a cheap usb controller
get high as fuuuuuck
??????
profit
One min making list
Specs?
Here is what you definitely want:
gb of RAM
gb SSD(solid state drive)
Tb+ hdd 7200rpm
>>Nvidia graphics card with 4gb+ memory
>>pretty much any processor for your needs
>>buy a Windows license separately
>>order a screen separatly
>>either get one with a kb/m or order them separately doesn't matter as long as you get new ones that are free of jizz and dirt
Good luck OP.
Here's a picture of Paul. He'll guide you.
Made it. Its a goo dot gl/umWizs
This + an up-to-date Linux distro and you will be just fine until the fucker craps out.
Easy to install and learn Linux Distros with excellent support include Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora. A Linux distro will be a replacement for the aging and unsafe Windows XP. Given your simple hardware setup, most new Linux distros will likely run just fine without having to muck around with drivers or difficult setup procedures.
learn to green text faggot.
Less than the one i showed u. Its a lot cheaper though. I actually built it and it plays 90% of games at 60fps or higher on ultra. Some very demanding games will play at 40 fps on high
/thread
Not going to click that
Im not a fan of AMD, and the Radeon is a non starter for a video card. The mobo goes with the other turds you clicked. It would work for him, but for 900 dollars you can do better.
It kept saying my Amazon link was spam. It's safe bro.
Yeah not sure how mimi fucked up my green text, but fair criticism.
Honestly amd with their ryzen have huge potential
>System requirements lab
>Can I run it?
Google that. Download the scanner, it will tell you if you can run a certain game.
OP, that machine can play old school console and handheld games just fine. Countless hours gaming avail using emulators.
Ayy I'm using mimi too
Proof
Multiple > followed by numbers makes Sup Forums think you're trying to link a post. It's not the app, it's your newfaggotry.
Op if youre on Newegg, then pick like 3 prebuilt systems you like and link them here. We can give you pros and cons easier than just competing to send you a billion links to 700-900 dollar pcs and build specs
>AMD
>Radeon
My fucking sides
Huge potential? You act like it's a fucking child. It's a finite chip that compared unfavorably to Intel in both price and performance. It isn't wine, that could age and one day be better. It will only get worse as time goes on. i3s benchmark better in games than the ryuzen. What is it going to assimilate spare parts from your garage and improve itself while you are asleep? I honestly haven't heard anything this retarded in years.
It's called having a budget
