    Default Most recent upgrade?

    As the title says, what is your most recent upgrade? Mine was to upgrade from 1GB of RAM to 1.5GB, through the help of a 512MB stick that i 'liberated' from a broken computer at school. The computer now starts up 20-30 seconds faster, and everything runs much faster. A great improvement, as i am no longer sluggish. BF2 has shown a marked improvement, with much less fps lag. Can't wait to try Oblivion!

    So, what's your most recent upgrade?

    My latest upgrade, was from a nasty and slow 128MB of RAM and a S3 ProSavage 32MB Graphics Card, to a, although still hopelessly rubbish, but drastically improved, 256MB RAM and a Nvidia Geforce 4 MX420 64MB Graphics Card.

    On the gaming side of things, I was granted the ability to play all the latest games, although only on minimum settings. Also, my older games, now could be played on just below maximum settings - although one game continued causing a blue-screen due to it being a corrupted copy - oddly it worked with my last card though! However, on general system performance, I didn't see any really large changes, however, Windows, at the time Windows 98, seemed to install things slightly faster, and the PC ran multiple applications better - although was still very slow.

    It was my new 240GB HDD, the old one(80GB) seems to be broken now so I upgraded just in time it seems.

    The PC had the extreem surgery two years ago now. It had the capacity to play all of the latest games two years ago, but now, for game-playing, it's highly outdated. I intend to get another, much newer, PC soon, yet, for now, it's just a humble thought.

    My Windows updated.

    It was a delightful restart afterwards.
