Which you can get (completely legally) here.
If you want to try and get that part done, so you can install more RAM. Just remember that it's going to involve some work on your (or your geek friend's) part, since you have to do a clean install.
You may find your computer runs a lot better simply from the clean install, by the way. It's amazing the amount of bullshit you can collect over the years that bloats your PC. |
I'll try that. For now, though, I've just reduced the graphics quality to low (which ****ing sucks), but I played through about 10 minutes just now without any problems. I guess I'm in the kiddie pool until I deal with this.
Well, I'm off to bed. Thanks to everybody for all the help and guidance.
