How Often Do You Buy A New Pc?

[Keikan]

I'm gonna but a pc soon right and then my mom says: 3 years later you have to buy another one!? SO i'm thinking you guys always have pc's that can actually run todays games, so how do you keep up with those dam minium system requirements?

by upgrading one piece at a time, there's very little of the computer i bought just a year ago left.

I usually buy a computer once every year, 2 tops. then in between I buy components to upgrade them.

I do some internet business so I got some money to buy stuff and pay tuition

Gee you upgraded fast only one year!? Where do you get that kinda cash? And if you ask me i find it hard to upgrade the processer which basically is my problem, if you look at my specs and maybe my graphic card, but i can upgrade that easily.
The processer is so hard because you need like the right motherboard and shit and blablabla, like I'm planning to get the Athlon xp 2700+ how you suppose to upgrade that in a few years?

like once every 5 years if not longer...

every 6 years but im thinkin im gona start savin money and instead of buyin pc just like upgrade it u know...like change i have a 2.53 ghz processor so later on i can get a higher one and more ram and stuff so then i dont have to waste extra money

I agree.. upgrade peice by peice

Upgradeing by Buying Whole new computer is Wasted Money!
Whole new floppy drive? Whole new moniter? eh?

U can get a new mobo, cpu, and graphics card for less than a brand new computer.

Every 6 years? I thought minimum requirements move faster than that

i just want the 80 gigaflop computer in japan so i wont have to upgrade for a few 20-30, maybe 100 years. (technology advances to fast.. i wanna be ahead of the game! lol).

80 gigaflop speed CPU.. I think the HD was like some extreme speed as well.. Prob copys Terabytes in few seconds!! DROOL
