oz3bto

Stepdad have an old pice of **** PC ... P4.. DDR2..Runs XP .. Only use it for hamradio stuff

And now its dead again...  "Can you fix it?"  Well ill try -- Promise nothing .. :P

Soon its his birthday so time for a surprise..
In his  like 15 years old cabinet we have fitted ..

MSI b450m pro m.2 (My backup MB)
Ryzen 3 3200G

2 x 8GB ripjaws ( from family Think its 3200mhz)
PNY m.2 SSD 250gb (cheap in local shop)
1TB seagate barracuda (Also from family)

Cosair CV550watt PSU (overkill .. But cheap from friend)

Score in chinebench 1337  😋

Had to try with CS:GO ..  100FPS.. Smooth and nice (That onboard gpu aint bad !!!)

 

He is in a wheelchair but like big rigs .. So installed steam and bought Euro Truck sim2 for him .. Runs smooth as silk  

Now i just have to figure out those hamradio programs made before win 7-8-10 (some are made for win 95 :P :P )
