HELP!! Do I upgrade my current rig, or get a new one?, just need it for counterstrike

i have a compaq preasrio 4824 233mhz 32mb ram now, and it wont even start up CS without freezing.

do i get a new system?, or is there a way to upgrade my current rig so CS will run?

either way, i need the cheapest possible way to do it. Thanks!!

Welcome to Timo......

CS is not the only game you will want to play, I will recommend to build budget system from the parts you currently have on the current system.
Whats the budget you have now?

You'd need to build a new system for two reasons

1) That system is OLD, if its a Pentium 2, it would be really hard to find a faster processor for it. And even if you did, it would still be slow. If its an original pentium, it would be impossible since 233 was the highest they went.

2) Its a Compaq, which dont' accept upgrades very easily at times.

I have a P2 300mhz GF2 and 128mb sd ram. It runs Half Life Mods almost as well as my 9700pro on my P4. So fallow these steps to get back to playing CS.

Steps to Counter Strike Fun...
1) get new vid card (GF2 $20-$50)
2) install Windows XP Pro(FREE)
3) play CS
4) delete CS
5) kill yourself (for having played CS
and most likely liking it)
6) go to hell
7) play CS

CS is an awful game. So bad that no true human could live with themselves after playing it. So I figure that it is one of the tortures Lucifer puts on you when you’re in hell.

lol
