For someone that wants help he posts very little when he doesn't get advice he wants to hear.

He typically goes offline when he gets good advice. Then comes back like 2 hours later when the thread has died down and goes "sorry I've changed my mind I'm not upgrading after all, my old Pentium @ 600 MHz is good enough, plays Crysis maxed out!!"

U2konline has no intention of buying a PC.

He will create a similar thread like this in a few days/weeks

In a few days/weeks he will reject our advice and insist his knowledge is better (then wont purcahse anyways)

He is an attention seeker and probably has a fetish for old hardware and slow hardware.

He probably had his hardware hard throughout all this debate about this "NVIDIA GeForce 7100" and "ATI 3650" nonsense.

pfft. he can probably play crysis on an alarm clock and still be happy with it. we've tried learnin' the boy but he just won't take no learnin'

:laugh:


i had a 3650 once pop it in then through it in the trash cause thats what they are it trash :laugh:

+1

100% agree

Get a 3850 or a 4670, they're both similar perfomance, although I'd say go for the second one since that uses less power, I've persuaded my friend that he needs to get into the modern age and use cards with power connectors mainly for the reason that he wants to play GTA IV and I acquired him a free 7900GT (big step up from his 6200)
I'm not even gonna bother with suggesting what you buy

Well, If you'd research a bit, all we say is mostly true...

anyways, I'll stop and excuse myself, so sry U2, but I still want him to know how I, and some other readers think. At the same time, it's giving him advice :p

What personal insults?
I mean, i really don't care what people say about me, haha trust me, thats small time man, little things or comments like that doesn't bother me. haha. Most of the time i get a kick out of it, and i laugh myself. So its cool, let people say what they like about me, but no worries, none of the comments bothers me one bit. There are more important things in life that gets to me, then silly comments online on message forums.

Anyways, this thread is about to get closed soon as a request. So i am not going to say anymore , i sent a message to one of the mods about why i wanted this thread closed and in the future, i will not be making anymore threads similar to this one.

I wll not be posting a reply to this thread. :)

again, it's not that we don't like you, or we don't want these threads... we just want you to AT LEAST reply with common sense... maybe a reason why you don't care is that you get used to it... which means you might want to change something in your logic :laugh:

We don't hate you... we just hate seeing uninformed ppl that would do irrational things and don't get the best bang/buck when money is an issue... and it aggravates us, thus the "insults", to see someone doing some stupid things and when they do get informed or we give you great advice, you simply don't listen...

so pls don't take anything personally, just try to understand?

I'll face your truth with mine. You issue insults, I issue infractions, till one of us stops. And since the OP isn't reading/posting in the thread anymore, it will be closed in a short while from now.
