Too true -- at 13, he discovers baseball -- or hip hop -- and it's downhill
from there.

GIRLS.. Then it's REALLY over!!!

How old is this machine? I'd suspect you need some tuning/cleaning up
because a 2.2ghz Athlon X2 is a reasonably fast processor (although I
HATE AMD processors) and you have 2gb of ram and a Radeon X1250 video
already.

Definitely not a SLOW machine - and not worth putting a $250 vid card
into. If you can find a PCI Express Radeon 9000 for $50 or so, it
might give you faster graphics. Another 2gb of ram may help - if you
are either gaming or running multiple programs at once.


Needs DDR2 667 unbuffered ram
