I am currently blogging due to the limited choice of games on my pc. To begin with let me state the configuration of my pc.
Memory: 256mb (Don't mistake this with hard disk space, the pc is not a relic. Many people ask this question more of this later.)
Processing speed: 1.8 Ghz (I don't know what the processor is and I don't intend to find out )
Video Memory: On board GeForce 6100 GPU 64mb (May be the only respectable stat)
A bad mouse with no scroll (the mouse is optical ) and a so so keyborad.
The following are the most probable reactions to my pc's config
My Dad : This is a kick ass configuration what more do you need to write programs. Back in our days we used to have pcs with 4gb hard disk space, Now you youngsters want 4gb ram.
My Mom: She doesn't know much about pcs but she thinks the bigger monitor better the pc (so does my dad at times, I forgot to mention this dump of a pc has a 17 inch monitor and it is the costliest part in the pc).
My Brother: How does it matter my bro sits infornt of it most of the time.
Praveen (cousin) : Dude there is a game called zelda classic it is a very old game (actually one of those very first rpg's) it is very good. It will probably run on your pc with out any glitches.
A very good suggestion except for the fact that this guy owns a pc with the following config.
Memory: 2gb in a dual configuration 1G in each slot
Processor : Intel core 2 extreme processor
Video Memory: 256 mb 8800 GT * 2 in a dual configuration
His mouse sucks though one consolation.
He plays games like witcher in full graphic settings (He also plays zelda and online flash games on that pc, It hurts your eyes to see such blasphemy. What is more agonizing is he rates zelda above witcher, oblivion and crysis etc), In contrast my pc can't even play high resolution video trailer of these games.
Bhaskara (one of my friends) : When you decide to upgrade your pc give me the 256 mb ram.( Cannot blame him though what more does a guy need to watch video on his pc or play fantasy football on his browser.)
Rahul (one of my friends) : Suffer muhahhaaha.
Shamanth ("" that is supposed to be a ditto or assume so from here on) : Does WOW (World Of Warcraft) work on it . If it does nothin else should matter.(I dont have enough money to buy a wow account too .... more of this later).
Shashank ("") : I told you to burn your pc at bhogi festival last year, So you still have it atleast do it this time.
Samba ("") : It is better than mine in fact do you want exchange it with my pc Zelda classic works well on my pc as well.
We will end the reactions of people with that. Now lets move on to the reactions and probable reaction to my suggestion of upgrading the pc.
My Dad : How much will it cost?. Will Rs. 2000 suffice although it is a bit much I will take it into consideration. ( what am i to do with 2000 bucks suggestions people).
My Mom: Will the pc turn off any faster? It is taking a awful lot of time to turn off, I have to wait like 5 min for the pc to shutdown. (I taught her how to turn of the pc recently, without much success though).
My Brother: How does it matter my bro sits in front of the pc all the time. (Cant blame him though)
Now to the most interesting and non fictitious part. Since my father's upgrade budget is a little low. I approached my mom ( Although my mom's technical knowledge is limited she is very generous at times with donations to upgrade my pc ) she agreed and offered to give my brother 12000 bucks if he gets 300+ in BITSAT examination. Remember I don't get the money he does. So it is time I start sharing my pc time with him and hope he gets a 300+ in BITSAT. May the God be gracious and let the test be easy :D .
