Bryan,
LOL! I understand your share. Know it will be passed on; even if I push it.
Yes, I have gotten him to think about maybe some new hdw. Sorry, Apple is out.
But, he is coming around to the fact that his old PC may just be too
old to play.
Just now we are doing research and talking about a BIOS update. I
sent him the full
minimum requirements for Win7, Win8, and Win8.1. He is off papering
Gigabyte and AMD
about PAE, NX, and SSE2. When he gets his answers, we will continue.
Our discussion about
SATA, Pata/ATA, and, ESDI. drove him deep into the cave, but, he now
accepts and grasps SATA.
We have not yet OPENED his PC to check whether his current PSU has
SATA power connectors,
but he does know all about molex->Sata adapters, and, he has one for
his Crucial SSD. We both think
that Gigabyte gave him ONE SATA I/O cable.
At best, his Crucial SSD will start life on the m/b's IDE buss. I
read nothing in the UM that even ghostly
mentions AHCI. And what leads me to maybe a more modern m/b. Sadly,
OB says his PC runs fine on XP
and does everything he needs for it to do........ At that point, I
just have to back off and say, "Go with GOD."
JMHO.
