    That is the scariest bottleneck I've seen.

    Trust me, your framerate would double if you just got a new computer (Dell locks the CPUs so that it's near impossible to upgrade to anything recent).

    I'll get some pictures up of my computer again once I get my new processor.

On the motherboard box it says "Optimized for Intel Pentium D/Pentium 4 Processor." I know I can use a Celeron on it but I'm not sure if anything newer than a Pentium D will be compatible with the chipset. I've tried looking this up but haven't found any solid answers. Anyone has some answers for me?

    Figured I'd post this since I plan on [finally] buying the parts for my new rig this Friday and wanted to take some pictures of this eMachines that has survived with me since early 2004.

    System specs:
    CPU: AMD Sempron 3100+ ~1.8GHz (single core)
    Memory: 2GB G.SKILL DDR
    Video Card: ATi Radeon X1600 Series
    Primary Hard Drive: 94GB IDE
    Secondary Hard Drive: 30GB IDE
    Operating System: Windows XP SP3


    Pictures:

    Front of the case:


    General view of the inside, wtf is cable management?!


    Desk view. my monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, printer, etc....


    Some logitech sub. Works nice is all I know.


    this baby keeps me cool.

    I'd look up the mobo and see if it's compatible (You might get lucky and find a customer review or something where they've used it and it worked), and you might want to look up the south bridge (or the north one-- one of those [AFAIK] controls what CPUs work and which ones don't) and see if other mobos with it work.

    But it's fairly risky, and there is a chance that it won't work. I'd try anyway-- you can find very cheap m-ATX mobos that support C2D and a lot of other stuff (Don't be put off by the size-- my current gaming computer uses some $50 ASUS mATX board and hasn't failed for me yet)

    In short: There's a good chance that it won't work. But try anyway if and only if you're planning on replacing the mobo as well.

    I have to hit the front of the drive untill the thing opens, these days i leave a blank CD unside down in the tray because its the only way i can open the drive without pressing the button 200 times.

    You guys try using the "Eject" link in the Right-Click menu for your disk drive?
