Well, the “friend” in the title is not really a “human” friend but It’s actually my 4 yr old PC that I’ve been using when designing stuff in the past. It’s an HP Pavilion Elite desktop that I tweaked to handle games 4 yrs ago. It currently runs on Intel Core 2 Quad, has 8 gigs of RAM, and has Geforce 9800GX2 installed. Still not that bad in today’s gaming standards I guess.

Reason? Well, me and my fiancé are both working in the design industry and she’s been complaining that her work laptop was already too slow. So to save some cash, I decided to “resurrect” my old machine that has been collecting dust in my other room. Tried playing Crysis 3 and Metro: Last Light and its performance is still not that disappointing.
PS: Owe a lot to this machine. “She’s” basically my main machine when I was just starting in the design industry.
