I might put Linux on it and use it for internet when people come over, it was really slow.. And it was the best PC in the house!!! [60-90 MHz machines with 16 MB ram...]

I just need to figure out how to get internet...

[nabo]

Mine has:

2 gig. Ram
An Intel Core 2 Duo Dual-Core 1.86 ghz
A ATI Radeon X1300PRO video card with 256 mb ram
And 300 gig hard drive
19" Screen

I don't think the laptop will be enough to run GTA IV TBH. Well mine can't run it for sure, it's 3 years old.
But I wouldn't bother about that just yet. You can get the parts to run GTA IV when it's released for a fairly cheap price I think.

Mine has a terminal disease. I think the motherboard is about to go so I'm looking at an upgrade. (sarcasm)

Looking an an AMD 64 chip & board & upgrading my video from an N-Vidia 5500 to a 7200 & bigger power supply.

[MrLlamaLlama]

Use the defibrillators on it!

Looking at a PC upgrade for early next year...
Go with an AMD chipset, memory either OCZ or Corsair, undecided on Grahics Card yet (and everything else)

[Urbanoutlaw]

Computer sat up on the gurney & insisted it was fine, refused to pay the ER bill & walked out. Now it's working again.

I'm looking at a gigabyte board w/ AMD 64 4000, 2 gig of ram & on-board Ge-Force 6100 w/ a PCI express slot for upgrading.
The board is support faster chips & up to 8 gig ram. There's also a new 500w power supply.


This is through a authorized rep for about $300 & includes 24/7 tech support, after hours probably costing me a couple cold
beers.
