New Computer, In bound, In Bound...... - nerfherder - 12-01-2007
Hi all, my E machine crashed hard in September. I finally am able to replace it, from having to use my 9 year old laptop.
I had ordered the computer last night, using the laptop, Unfortunately, the laptop's hard drive crashed this morning before I had a chance to do anything, so I have ordered another hard drive for it, both are due for delivery next tuesday.
For now, i am using my Wife's pride and joy, (Her G-5 Mac), but there is no freelancer for MAC so far...seen and read a lot of the forums for mac clamoring for a freelancer to play.
Here is a link to what I bought, and had a question to the forums, does a computer speed affect the ping for the server, and can a computer's hi ping crash the server?

It doesn't look terrible even for an Acer but considering your getting a computer for $450ish that's pretty decent. I would definatly add a graphics card though, they make gaming so much easier.
New computers are always fun, you can teach them anything...
Instal anti-virus/spyware/malware and a firewall though. Just to keep your new computer innocent.
