Better make sure you wipe the hard drive and install win98 so you don't get a virus.

Make sure you boil the computer before starting it to get all the kinks out.

Thermite, electromagnets, and anything that generates massive amounts of static electricity.

Don't buy HL2, for the love of God. Or, yes, do buy HL2, it is a cool experience for one play through. And then you get Gmod. FEAR is a must have. Far Cry, because I'm playing through it again and going "OMG FUNFUN" every 3 minutes. Once you figure out how to play the game in a fun way (not guns blazing) it's like..the best FPS ever.

And guys, you don't understand. If he's playing a game, he's not Massassi. So give him more games!
I had a blog. It sucked.

FEAR and Far Cry are demanding on the average computer. We don't know what the specs are on his machine.

It was in use only a week ago by some extremely rich neighbors of ours. I think it was one of the rediculasly over the top 04'/05' comps.

We can't suggest games without computer specs.

Also, rich people tend to NOT spend a lot of money on things. It's likely that they don't know anything about computers either, so it's probably not going to play most of the games we'd suggest that you can't already play. We're either harcore new-gamers, or hardcore old-gamers. Few of us play in the "Entertaining but moderately resource friendly" category.

Well, if it is only "1 Ghz and 256 megs ram," I'm guessing it's not ready to play today's games. I would be surprised if it had a half-way decent graphic card.

And it must have something wrong with it if they are giving it out free.

Thermite. If you light it on top of your computer, it makes your processor run faster.

I tried three times but it led to bans which were later canceled.

Must be bad karma. :P

It probably won't run Half-Life 2 well. The minimum requirements are way above that (At least 1.8GHz,I think 512mb ram too). It isn't impossible, I've played HL2 on a 1GHz comp with a GeForce 2 in DX7 mode (not sure how much memory it has, maybe 512) but it was glitchy.

Just to add on to what everyone else is saying, that's like going from a bag of flaming crap, to just a bag of crap.

In the end, it's still crap.

Hehe, I've done that. It was 850 Mhz though; not that it made much difference. Was really only a proof that it could be done, like installing XP on a PII 233. :v:
