At first i was going to make my first post a straight forward spec question,but the recent news of the Foxconn strike got me thinking.Last week,I kid you not,I was running a 2000xp processor, 512mb ram and a TWENTY gb hard drive ! A trip to the tip(dumping rumble)had me bringing away a HP computer that did sort of run for a while but kept crashing. I took it back only after pulling out its perfectly ok 250gb hard drive and 1gb of ram. Installed in my box there is a noticeable improvement.On a high I considered actually buying board/cpu.This is where overclockers forum wizzes would have come in.Yes my 2000xp cpu is running at 100% almost all the time and watching clips can be a pain.Then the news broke about the poor Foxconn workers slaving towards an early grave to provide us with tat that as i have found out will eventually be pretty much useless. What i am asking the wizzes now is to slow down the demand for that 0.5% improvement farkle. Just make do with what you have for a bit longer,surely your machines are fast enough already?- i realise my example is a bit extreme but i think you know what i mean.Not to mention the damage the demand is doing to the planets resources ! Your thoughts ? Sod it, can you please suggest a very cheap upgrade board/cpu that will take advantage of my radeon 9600 AGP card too-thanks, Ste
