i am looking tp upgrade my crappy machine i am not sure if the windows 7 will be a posative impact on my pc i got some pretty simple hardware: Amd atholon II X# 440 processor 3.01 GHz, 1.5 gb ram this would be my base model computer i would like to resuse as much of it as possible i have a lot of old motherboard in my house, with some parts please tell me what i might need for a semi decent gaming pc with the ability for other purposes
idk how do i check, im pretty sure its a prett decebt one lets see what i got... nvidia geforece 7300 SE/ 7200Gs made by nvidia chip type: Geforce 7300 SE/7200gs my computer needs a little fix but idk what heres my other problem on my windows xp i am a limmited account (meanning i cant execute any exe.) if i get my system admin pass how can i change this? oh and i though i might do a defragmentation of my system and it says "you need administrator"
that is a low end 7 series, which is pretty old. (current top of the range is the 500 series, the series numbering system goes 7, 8, 9, 200, 300, 400, 500, with the 7 series being current in 2005-2006). Can you find out the model number of your computer's motherboard, or what graphics interface it uses (PCI-E or AGP), because if its AGP then upgrading will be a major job because AGP is now obsolete (the 7 series GS boards are AGP and were the last AGP boards nvidia made). for the second problem you would need to change your account type to administrator in the users control panel (while logged on as the administrator).
I think now you need a computer configured as follows: CPU： Intel i3 Quad-Core Motherboard： ASUS P8H67 REV Graphics card ： MSI R6970 Lightning 2G D5 940/5500 2048MB/256 DDR5 Memory ： CORSAIR XMS3 DDR3 1600 8GB hard discs： 2T ST2000DL003 64MB SATA3
thats a bad spec. seagate hard disks are unreliable for a start, and intel processors/motherboards are hugely overpriced. An AMD system would outperform an i3 at a fraction of the price.
