    It's called polishing a turd

    FYI... Took me and my wife 11 hours to clean off all the spyware and mess that was on it. THAT is why the chickie sold it. She got so much CRAP on here that it barely ran. I have tested all four games I wanted to play and all of them run smooth enough and quick enough for my tastes...

    It's called polishing a turd

    System has shipped according to seller. In a few days I'll see how horrible it runs GTA:VC as is. I read up on overclocking the 2650e, seems 2GHz is about the limit before it starts running appreciably hotter than stock 1.6GHz, and the chip was probably underclocked when it was made for this...

    It's called polishing a turd

    I do this all the time with cheap cars, too, and it works. So my wife sees me whining about the integrated graphics on my Dell P4 box and decides, let's get him something new. I've owned used computers all my life except for one new Mac LCIII in 1994. This new box is the $398 Wal-Mart...
