Okay.
I can play old games with my current low end old bad ass laptop. Steam is full of them.
Sad thing is that this laptop will not live forever, so in some point it will break anyway. It's HP, so most likely mobo will die.
Is EVE worth to upgrade my laptop, so I could play EVE wich I can't currently. My subscription is paid untill January.
Well, as I said, I can play old games with this. And trust me, oldies are GREAT FUN, remember when you had poor FPS 10 years ago in some good games? Now you have epic FPS in any old game.
Problem is that everything else is getting heavier, all work related softwares, internet applications like poker clients etc, so more power would be nice there.
Third thing is that I share my computer with my wife, and it works well.
So, should I just wait untill this old HP G5000 serie laptop dies or buy new laptop now and give this one into recycling?
Is EVE worth it? |

Only you can answer that question. Those of us that play it obviously think that it's worth it to us. |

buy a new one regardless of eve
the old one will die at the worst possible moment - when you are short on time, when you absolutely need access to a computer, when all stores are closed and you don't have a single penny on your bank account.
better to migrate your data over, set up your applications, ... on the new one before the old one is really dead, especially if it's the only computer in the household. |

Recycle: always
EVE worth it: depends: do you have fun, do you like to socialize? Do you enjoy creating something from nothing? If your not having fun, then no, its not worth it. But if you enjoy it, it's defiantly worth it.
If you decide to stay: EVEMail me, we are looking for recruits of all kinds.
If you decide to leave: I can haz your stuffs?

Your choice!
Is it worth it, that depends on what you think.
I use a desktop that's almost 4 years old, just for gaming (original cost was -ú2000+)
I won't replace any parts as when something dies on it at this age, it's just not worth messing with. Will just buy a new system when that happens. But I won't consider getting rid of it until something does die on it. Because it does not matter when you buy the next one, because as soon as you do it'll start getting old again.
Question you should be asking yourself, is Eve worth it to you? |

Is it necessary to stay with a laptop? For the same money you can probably get a desktop with a lot more horsepower. More bang for the buck and less heat issues. |

yeah, buy a new laptop and assign the old one to your wife. i don't use laptops but i keep my rig continually upgraded, which means my wife has a computer more than ample enough to allow her to surf youtube for lolcat videos and play solitaire. it's a win-win scenario. |

Found your problem!
I say this all the time, "The key to a happy marriage is seperate computers".
I've told this to several of my "female" coworker. Being females they automatically disreguard anything I say. "We've been sharing for years, we don't use it that much." Always within a few months they come back to me and say, you were right. Or let something slip like, I told him not to touch my computer. Don't want to get into long story so give your wife the laptop and treat yourself! -á"Nerf it cause I can't fly it". I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes. |

A single game is pretty much never worth a whole upgrade, but if you have other games that would benefit from a complete system upgrade then it would probably be a worthwhile investment. If you religiously play EVE to the point where you couldn't imagine yourself without it, then I guess in that case it would be worth it on its own. |

Well, you can always use your laptop to post on the forums.
It's the best part of EVE as far as I am concerned. I have no tears to cry. |

Sound advice. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
