    Hiya!! :p

    I'm a big time gamer and I've had the worst luck buying/building good gaming PCs. The PC I have now is soooooooooooooo bad that I haven't been able to play a decent game in over a year and I'm totally in withdrawal!! :D

    I don't have a lot of money so I need to find a decent computer that is suited for gaming. Something that's decently fast. But I need to buy it on some sort of installment plan for payments. I have horrible credit so I can't finance it but I need to work it out so it's billed monthly to a credit card. But I can't find anyplace like that!! I'm soooooooooo frustrated!!! :eek:

    I would soooooooooo appreciate it if you had any suggestions about any place like that and does payment plans. I've looked everywhere and am having absolutely NO luck! :(

    I've got to do something soon because this is driving me absolutely crazy!! :rolleyes:

    Thanks!

    Hugs!

    Its been a while, how are you doing?
    I remember talking to you abut something last time your here but dont reememebr just what.

    I dont know much about Credit for PCs but maybe you could upgrade what you have now? Could do it in parts, buying new stuff when money permits allowing you to have a better pc and no need to apply for credit or whatnot.

    Going by the specs you posted in http://majorgeeks.com/vb/showthread.php?t=28533 i'd say your first step would be a better video card, that Geforce 2mx is your biggest problem. If you can give me a budget idea i could probably reccomend a couple :p

    If money is tight I would upgrade to an ATI 9600 Pro and see if that is enough. Your system is more than enough for most games except the vid card.

    I have seen these at Fry's for $134 on sale (bought one) and can verify that they do game well for the price. I have tried UT 2004, Diablo2, Halo, etc. All ran fine, not at the highest resolutions, but very nice to play on. You do not need the All-In-Wonder as it adds TV out and vid capture.
