To save or to scrap? (my first pc)
มุมมอง 1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This machine is what is left of my main pc. Due to unfortunate circunstances, it has ended up in Canada with my relatives instead of being in the UK with the rest of my machines. This is also the same machine I mentioned in a previous video of that '08 Packard bell imedia. In its original form, it was overclocked to 3ghz and had a radeon hd 5850 in it which was fine for the games I played back ...

First off. Thank you for 300 subscribers! As you guys probably know that my motive for this channel is to keep things chilled and not to force nonsense down your throats, this milestone makes me really humbled and I really appreciate it all. This is just an overview to see if these old pre-ryzen low end AMD chips have any life left in them a decade later. As some of you may know, these A-series...

Also, as stated in the video, if anyone knows how to get older early 2000s games from steam to work on old machines running on unsupported operating system, Please leave a comment down below!

    Very good machine for its time, and you could achieve a good upgrade. Surprised at the low spec processor. I have a similar system, but I have a Q9400 with a 3.368 GHz o/c on a Biostar mb that takes ddr3 memory. It has Windows 7, and it is an addictive PC with an HD 7570 graphics card. I have to force myself to turn it off sometimes, reminding me that I need the extra HP of a newer machine. Windows 7 is still a good experience compared to newer versions of Windows imo. Luckily I have a 4th gen PC with a gtx 980 that supports W7, too. Kind of the best of both world for serious work. Thanks for the video.

The CPU is a poor Pentium M 3 GHz, and 4 Go ram. Can't be updated to a Core 2. It runs perfectly with XP and 7. And of course Linux. Far Cry 1 with all video options to max in 1600x900 runs at about 95 fps in the demo scene at start up. But remember there`s a GTX 750 Ti inside now ... Heaven run at 14 fps in 1440x900 :) Since there's a IDE connector, it's a perfect "retro" machine. The bios is a pain, since it complain about the drives connected when we connect/disconnect them. I really enjoy this computer. I wonder if Win 10 has drivers ... I will try it. And Win 98 too :)

    An e8400 and R7 240 2gb GDDR5 would be a big upgrade. Just make sure you get the GDDR5 version of the R7 240. It's more powerful than a Gt 730, and you can overclock it right in the AMD software.

    my honest opinion i wouldn't scrap something like this, especially if it's your first pc. wish i still had mine, it was a late 90's Compaq and first computer i ever used to go on the internet at the time, it accidentally got thrown out in the trash, crazy how time fly's and things change. also these type of systems are a bit rare nowadays even if it had dead hardware in it. if you want to repurpose it (if the hardware is not dead) get a ryzen APU and a micro ATX motherboard, what ever the cheapest that you can afford. but it's your choice what ya do with it.
