You know its time to get a new computer when...
...your sound card's mic port is a burned out hole.
...your hard drive decides to play 'hide and go seek' with your WoW folder.
...you lag out in Ironforge before you even log in.
...you seriously start to consider your box an oversized paperweight.
...its been over 6 years and you're still using the same system specs.
Come on everyone! Add your comments too! -.-
Yeah, sorry for missing out on MC but my computer decided to have some fun to. Know this. Smoking is bad mmkay. I wonder if there's computer rehab for smokers.My sanity is not in question...

Your sound card is not an excuse because several of us have offered to get you one just so u can SPEAK.

Re: You know its time to get a new computer when...
... When the only window that'll open is a error window.
... When the only screen you ever see is blue.
... When microsoft says "We dont update Windows (Ur version) anymore"
... When a new Techsupport Guy says "What kind of port is that?!"
Start counting, when you reach infinity tell me.
If you can read this you've got to much time on your hands.

Allakandra's favorite - When you can only griffon places or need to be summoned cross-continent because when you take a boat, by the time you finish loading the destination, it's already in deep sea towards where you began.

Re: You know its time to get a new computer when...
Just a fun update.
A microsoft update caused a delayed write error by undoing a fix made with SP2. This caused bad sectors to appear on the hard drive I placed all my entertainment stuff on. This increasing problem (continued errors while writing to the drive) caused the drive to fail and take up smoking. Luckily my other 2 drives are still working so the computer is salvagable along with all my work.
Anyhow, getting a new computer and its coming around the beginning of Novemberish. Joy.My sanity is not in question...

Re: You know its time to get a new computer when...
That is pretty correct. I might pop on with an older (yes, I have older systems sitting around) computer with limited capabilities, but I am unable to raid with those set ups due to the limitations inherant with them. Hell, I'm leery of even trying the 5 man instances because a lock up or graphical failure could be more of a problem then freezing up in MC.
