Shared on Sat, 04/29/2006 - 21:59Im pretty stoked at this. Granted I have to run with everything turned down, at least i am forced to view at 1280x800.
Its a Compaq Presario V5102NR
AMD Sempron 3000 (1.8Ghz I believe)
512meg mem
ATI Radeon 200M mobility w/128meg shared
I also picked up a wireless mouse today for it for gaming.
i plan to pop another mem stick in it sometime since the vid shares it.
Why did I get this laptop. Some of you might shit a brick when I tell you why. To replace my 486 laptop. Yep, you read that correctly, 486.
It could only run Win95, Because of that it could only run IE 3 which no website supports anymore. The only other thing it was good for, which is why I kept it, is AIM and IRC. But the graphics driver recently took a crap and the only way to get info on it is download form internet or floppy. It is the only computer I have that has a floppy. So, its officially retired.
UK2k4 also runs on it with min settings. I probably am not going to put anything else on it unless its old school. Like bf1942, starcraft, etc.. I put Moonbase Commander on. That takes abit to get use to since the screen has to be stretched to 16:10.
Its not a gaming machine and thats not why I got it. But since it can run some of this stuff why not :) Though most of the time you will find me playing on my desktop. I might get USB headset so I dont have to transfer the mic between the two computers.
