I'm on vacation

[SogeKing]

I'm just letting you guys know that I'm at my grandma's house in California. While her computer is powerful enough to play TF2 (infact it's better than mine, I built it a year ago). I'm not going to be on much. You guys might of seen someone with
=(eG)= Soge King! |Guest| thats my brother.

Ok, I have to ask, and Im sure I wont be the only one thinking it.

Your grandmother's computer is better then yours?....

 

[Lafinass]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is grounds to be dragged into a supply closet and have the geek beaten out of you.

 

[SogeKing]

Yup, I built my PC 3 years ago (I can't afford new parts). My grandma's PC I built a year ago.

My PC:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.01 GHz
1024 MB PC 3200 Ram
K8N-E Deluxe motherboard
ATI Radeon X1600 512 MB

Her PC:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
2048 MB of Ram
I don't remember her motherboard.
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256 MB

 

[Lafinass]

Ok, really, what does your grandmother need an x1950 for?

Unless she's way hipper than mine, she'd have been fine with onboard video.

 

[SogeKing]

Heh. She doesn't even use it, she just likes it when her stuff is like crazy.

 

[Lafinass]

See, you missed out on the most vital part of building computers for family members.

You buy YOURSELF the new shiny parts and give them your old parts that are still upgrades for them.

*whistles to himself*

 

[DrMarvin]

LOL... yea, they get to 'upgrade' to whatever you HAD been using, and you get the new stuff.

 

[Lafinass]

It's the payment plan I run on relatives that aren't willing to fork over the 75 an hour + travel I usually bill for freelance work.

 

[Booster37]

I say trade 'em.

I need to build myself a computer soon. A desktop, of course. For now, I'll keep playing on my lousy HP laptop with AMD Turion 64x2 1.8 GHz processor with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 and 2GB of RAM. But hey, it gets the job done, lol.

 

[bLackout {RD}]

^ Yeah!

Trade, or exchange gift, or something.

Tell your grandma the same words, ok?
"Grandma, I have a special gift for you. A new computer. Yes, I know. You have a computer, but this is better than you have right now!...Merry Christmas!"

Then, WHADDAA!!..
