Should I buy a new computer or would it just be better to upgrade my current one. It has about 250 mb of ram and a 50gb hard drive. I can't give you my full specs ATM but I can tell you that I bought it in like 2005

Build a new one.

Sounds similar to my friend's machine. Shit still uses 168-pin DIMM.
LOL. It'll be expensive to upgrade something like that.
Just build a new one from scratch.
I can make a build for you, just give me a budget.

Sounds pretty low end. If you're willing to put down the cash, it'd be more worthwhile to get a new one.

I wouldn't like one I built myself because it wouldn't have any system reformat features.

He means system recovery.

Name brand name system like Dell and so one have a set of Recovery Disc so if you screw up. All you have to do is pop in those CDs and viola your machine will be back to the day when you first bought it.

Lol? You don't need that OEM crap. A retail copy of an OS can be used to reinstall your computer incase you get a virus.

That or system restore... do you need an antivirus too? There are a ton of threads on that stuff in here.

Considering the computer is old, take your money for a ride and buy a new one. New specs such as Core 2 Duo will make things faster significantly. If you can put one together you will save yourself labour costs.
