Ok for one thing i found is "from a certain point of view" is actualy true, heres my story


So i had this sweet littleRIDE(COMPUTER)fast and nimble but as the years went on it was showing signs of age, it couldnt keep up withother players and parts were breaking down. So one day i was at the buzzar (WALMART) and saw a new littleRIDE for a good price, thinking to myself i bought it. And i took it home and before I even turned it on i was switching COMPONINTS (computer parts) and SPEED SLICING (deleting anyprogram on it that was unneeded). After a bit of reprograming her she appeared to be a super good deal.


So im kinda Scared to take her out for her FIRST RIDE (launch SWG/JTL) cause im affraid that nothing will change and i will of wasted my time and creds for nothing. Specs on this beast arnt that outstanding but all above what i had before


256mb 400MHz graphics card

2.93 GHz processor

256kb L2 cash

533 MHzfront side buss

1024 mb pc2700 333mhz DDR SDRAM


also have a cable modem and router + other accesories CDROM and stuff already installed


the old ride was


126 mb graphics card

1.0 GHz Processor

126 kb cash

1024 pc2500 256 mhz ddr sdram


any thoughts? and wish me and my new ride well


BTW total cost for my new RIDE was +/- 700.00 US

I felt this was a good price including the new parts that i put in just to add to the boost

Sure she's fast enough for the old man...


Make sure you install Ad-Aware free edition anda really nice free anti-virus program called AVG. With the sheer magnitute of spyware and virus programs, a computer can get slowed down.. like mynocks got inside and chewed it all up.


Oh, and make sure you READ what the clamp says before you go cutting any wires in your machine!!!

You should notice a good increase in performance... I know I did with a similar upgrade... one thing for all those out there who want to upgrade, never underestimate the value of cache.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

If you want a better HoloNet transceiver than the one that came with it, visit this site. You'll find that it performs better and is much safer as far as defending your new ship's systems against slicers and viruses.

If you need some nice SHIELDING take a look at this. I have that one myself.



We couldn't play SWG without Tiggs. Now we can =)
