I just got

[Marsden 1st MRB]

External hard drive so i have installed steam to it and will see if this comp can even attempt DoD

[GMoney BAR]

Not gonna help your case Marsden. lol At least you'll have it to use on your next computer once you get it.

[Warren 1st MRB]

Can you install games on an external HD and expect them to even work since its all run through USB?

[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

Oh, yeah, they'll work. But, it doesn't stop the video card, processor, motherboard, et al. from sucking.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

well my motherboard on this comp isn't too bad, intel celeron D, i think its only like 3-4 years old so ya. and as for graphics card, it can't get too much worse than what im used to. it's worth a shot. if my frames don't get to 20 then i'll prolly give itup

Yeah this is what I was talking about. It'll hold your game for you, but come game time it's up to your other cards and software.

Celeron D was in my old computer and its barf tastic but its good enough to play games like coh and dod no problem as long as u have nothing running as a background program.

My new comp wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for all the porn lol

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

You would have too much porn, Warren...

Having more hard-drive space will help a little (If you had a full HD before), but like everyone is saying, it won't drastically change your gameplay. If anything Marsden, if you have a really old computer and old components you should look into buying some RAM first, If you already have a decent amount of ram (3-4 gigs) then you may just need to revamp the whole thing, or just buy a new computer... hahaha.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

lol ya, i need to get a new comp, this one is running 6 gigs of RAM right now, has plenty of HD space on top of my external and I am currently running around 9-23 FPS, not much lower than I'm used to though. So I'll be around quite a bit, and the comps at my school will run it great rofl

[Le 1st MRB]

Then I think you need to buy a video card.. Because if your running 6 gigs or ram, and still getting 9FPS something is up..

[Marsden 1st MRB]

It could be the fact that my video card is the five year old mother board the comps running lol
