HI ya'll I guess i'm the new guy now. Was about ready to toss my comp into the lake when a freind told me to check ya'll out. Either way I'm a serious gamer with a not so serious computer, do alot of tatical games like BF2 and such. Considering money is always a problem for me I'm hoping to glean a lil knowledge off yall to get myself running faster. (My computer knowledge rivals a brain dead chimpanzee, all i know is if i left click, the guy on screen gets shot.) Finally got tired of Windows and my computer outsmarting me so i'm teaching myself the finer arts of of these funny talking boxes. I'll try not to sound to much like an idiot. (I know, too late)

Wow that was quick.

First of all it's a proprietary system, Gateway E-3600 (I know ya'll said they can't be overclocked)

The only info I can give ya is what I get by running DxDiag

CPU: Pentium 4 1.5 Ghz (Drunk Hamster)
BIOS: Default (thats what it called it)
RAM: 256 (like my paycheck= Very small)
Page file setup: 449 available

Now I replaced my video card a while back, I knoww I have a GE Force FX5200 but the computer isn't recognizing it right now.

If ya'll know where I can find the specs ya'll are looking for. lemme know. I can't find the bus or anything else for that matter

when we say that you cannot overclock a Dell, Gateway, HP, or eMahcine, we mean that their overclocking BIOS functions have been removed. However, you can download software that allows you to overclock your CPU, allowing it to run at faster speeds. And when you say that your computer cannot recognize your FX5200, what do you mean? Do you mean that your computer can run windows (show stuff in the monitor of course!) but windows device manager cannot sense the FX5200, or do you mean that your computer cannot even boot with your new FX5200??

EDIT: i am very sorry to say this, but you might have to create a new thread for this because you are NOT allowed to ask questions in the 'New Member' place. (however, we will still be VERY glad to help you , post a linky to your new thread too, once you make it)
