Not my Turning Point gaming rig.
kintaeb | 2:19 PM on 03.21.2008 2 comments


So I've finally caved and decided to enter this contest, no matter how much I despise seeing blogs with this title.

Be prepared for major fail.



This picture is slightly old as the computer on the left is no longer there. My "rig", if that is what you want to call it, is on the right, that pretty white laptop. This bad boy can barely handle emulation, and runs WoW, on the lowest settings, at a maximum of 10 FPS. I got the computer as a gift while I was heavy into WoW. The person that purchased the computer for me confessed that they simply looked at the minimum requirements to run World of Warcraft and bought slightly above them. This has caused some issues.

Other than the fact that the computer is a Mac, here is a rundown of the reasons I can't play games on this thing:

1.2 GHz G4 Processor
1.25 GB RAM (Only upgraded part of the computer)
ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card

That should be enough. I love to computer dearly, it can do basic functions and I will more than likely keep it if I ever get a PC; but damn do I want to play FPS on the PC.

 about me

I have nearly every Nintendo system that has ever come out, I'm basically a fanboy, but I got a 360 about 3 months ago. Since the Wii is just a dust magnet right now I basically play KotOR, Bioshock, and COD4.
