Main use?



If it's a "pornholder" all you need is an old Win98 machine. How I know that is "need to know" and you don't.

i would much like for you to stay out of my personal life sir.



just time for a new pc, old one is quite old and starting to show its age. the video card (128mb) is startin to show some artifacts. its 120gb hard drive is maxed out, and the 2 gigs of ram mean it takes a very very long time to do anything. heck, it cant even play halflife 2 at top settings.



It was top notch when i built it in 2003 and has been a trooper, but its time to let it get some rest.



plus with the new consoles out, im goin to the pcmasterrace instead of being a console peasant



so instead of buying a 400 computer and a 400 console, ill just build a 1000 pc so i can mess with solidworks and autocad with

I do 3d animation on a 2nd gen i5 laptop with 4gb ddr3, you should be rocking it with this setup.





I might recommend adding some memory though. It's hard for a system to boot on 0GB

The more the better with Autocad, but no major reason to pop for ultrafast gaming ram unless you plan to actually game.
