Old computer problem...

[evilthx]

wow i have never seen a score so low, do you have any tips on getting it that far down?
I think you need to upgrade to windows 7 tha'll fix it .

Actually yes... Use an AGP MB, socket 478 and "upgrade" from a Ti4600 (overclocked) to a GeForce 7800 GS. My Ti4600 would hit in the 6,000's. My new build is going to make me forget I have a girlfriend... well maybe not, but it is going to be so different than what I have been putting myself through for 6 years!

To close an old thread lol

It was for sure the power supply. I was given a brand new 550w power supply so I decided to put it in this old machine which I am now on as a back-up computer while I buy more for my next build from the ground up. I have donated my i7 build to my girlfriend and she loves it. I forgot how snappy this old XP build was but it is nothing compared to what I was just using. I will miss my 800D but I do not use hot swap drives, I will be using a 700D for my own reasons. I will also be going AMD this time. By the way, I took the old PSU to a shop and they tested it... said it was shot but looked like it tried to put up a fight lol.
