I hapend to se that almost every freak is using and stone-age computer nowadays even if they had the money and having alot of things butthe most precious (the computer) is not even close to playable...

Are you saying that people are runing crap computers even thou they have the money to upgrade?

Thats what im like

You are pointing that at me aren't you?

Ha ha no (to dragonmaster)(sometimes, to Bibbob95)
Nah it's just that most people are using comps with 9200 and Gfx4...


This Is my Rig:
Motherboard: ASUS A8V-e DELUXE, 2000MT/s, s939, WiFi-54Mbps,
CPU: AMD San Diego 3700+ 1MBc
PSU: NewGeneration Actrix 520W
Graphic: nVIDIA XFX 7800GT 256MB 512MHz/1.20GHz
Soundcard: Soundblaster 4
Speaker: Regular Creative Inspire 5800 5.1
TV-card: Lowbudget noname card
HDD: Maxtor 300GB IDE 16MBc
WDC 200GB IDE 16MBc
Fan/Cooler: Zalman CNPS7700-Cu 120cm+ Northbride Passiv Zalman Cooler
Keyboard: LOGITECH UltraX Flat
Mouse: Razer CopperHead

damn that rocks... except for the lowbudget noname card, they suck, also your monitor isn't too hot

If I would be proud of my Tv-card I wouldn't type Low-Budget on it and for the monitor.... dosn't need any better can run 1024x768 with 100Hz and for those with TFT, Yeah you should now that CRT rocks.
Also "that" monitor has a max of 1920x1080 but it runs Oblivion in 30-50 FPS with everything maxed exept FSAA 8x cuz it's not neccesary with resolution over 800x600.

Some of us haven't update because there's no reason to. If you're already running something thats reliable why bother changing until the new is better and reliable. Some of use don't have the money for a update... like me. I'd like to get the origami but I don't have the money. I haven't been able to get a job... well I'm a little buzy for a job anyways.

300 GB.... that's it? I couldn't handle only 300GB.... my music alone is 150....

weak weak weak

i have 120 gb, which is more than most people i know also its just below the windows xp limit, so i dont need to add the service patches on to xp, should i reinstall...

I have a fairly good computer. Its fast, but it still needs to be more upgraded. I have windows xp and I have comcast high speed internet.

I have a crummy dell..... I couldn't even give you the skimatics its sooo old..... Its runnin' XP though, and for me, thats all that matters....

I'm no Collector ether Music or anime I'm Listening/Watching what I think is good and Burn it to DVD's instead of Bying new Drives all the time...
I only Have 22GB Music but that is what I LIKE TO LISTEN TO and not just to get share size...
Also if you use your eyes it's not only 300GB it ONE 300 and a 200
but what does that matters when I burn down everything I have to DVD's I could have lived with that 200GB

And here comes my computer!:
CPU: Intel pentium 4 3,2 GHZ
Graphic: nVIDIA Geforce 6600
Soundcard: On board
Speaker: Some sorts of philips monitors
HDD: 150GB
Keyboard: Some low tech awesome s***!
Mouse: And another low tech awesome s***!

And that's the most interresting things on it.

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Procc. 3.0Ghz
HD: 250 GB Sata, 2 150 GB externals
Dual DvD burners 40x40x8x
128mb Radeon x300(Why get a new one when it can run everything?)
1gb DDR ram
Mouse and Keyboard are logitech wireless
and a $10 crappy dual action(PS2 style) controller

Do you overclock your 3700 sandiego?

I built my friend a computer with that processor. I used an Aus dual sata board. It worked out really well.

BUt my rig?

Athlon xp 1800 1.53gigs
1 gig of pc 3200 ram
win xp
40 gigs
bfg 5500 nividea


And I just got a new comp... New but old. I just installed windows xp on it. I don't even know what it has in it. I know the case is massive

and I put media center on it (so I can stream to my 360)
1100 megz AMD processor
640 megs of ram that run SLOWLY
3 X 250 gig WD hardrives (2mb cache) 7200 ATA

my comp, or what i know about it
basically, i'm copying what the salesperson listed, i cant believe i still have this list...

-Intel Celeron 2600 MHz
-Asus P4800-MX SIS661FX 800FSB (motherboard... it has built in sound/graphics)
-BENQ Dual Layer DVD burner ( my bro said benq suck, he has another brand, but he also said it wasn't a dual layer burner! good thing i looked on this list)
-PC3200 512MB DDR 400 RAM
-Western Digital 120 Gb 7200RPM 8MB
(case info, kinda pointless )
##paper ends, now i do the rest##
multimedia keyboard, optical mouse
Logitech speakers R-10
moonitor compaq P920 (actually, a great CRT monitor )

thats pretty much all i know... that and it has like 4 or 6 usb slots, like i need that many, i'm not one of those poeple with desklamps and coffee warmers in their usb slots...

RAM is about the most important thing on the computer exept for your VGA Speed, the speed in GPU and Memory isn't the only thing, the pipelines and other things are inportant to...
An overclocked Graphiccard isn't that special, it's like the differense between AMD and Pentium, while Pentium need more MHz that AMD etc etc...
A fast memory beats motherboard and HDD also soundcards should be non-built-in cards...
good cards to get (THAT ARE WORTH THE PRICE):
Creative SB Audigy Z2 (Pro, Platinum...)
Creative SB Audigy 4 (Pro)
Trust 514DX 5.1 Sound Expert Optical (not tested yet, but still looks cheap and good)

But if u have to much ram, your mobo might not keep up. I wouldnt be overclocking video cards to much, due to the fact of not enough cooling...

My PC > Fully Sik Me Edition
Intel Celeron 1000 (But says its a intel pentium celeron 1000 ) (Thats 1ghz by the way)
160mb ram
20gb hd
4hb hd
cd burner
cd drive
floppy drive
Win XP home > SP2
5.1 surround sound... not running as 5.1, just as sterio + sub
Custimezed GUI

Thats my PC in a nutshell... please be kind...

your pc is owned by every comp so far...and thats being kind... sorry mate

Heat? that is no problem for me... I HAVE clocked my comp several times to se how well it works. I have been to the top off DDR400 speeds of 492MHz and clocked my AMD 3700 (2,2GHz up to 2,7GHz at 2,6GHz my 3700 was called 4200
and at the same time clocked my 7800GT from OC 450/1.05 to 525/1.25.
When having that speed I tested Oblivion (1024x768,(Windowed so that I can se heat grade) HDR on, but no AA, Draw,object, tree, actor distance MAX).
30-50FPS outdoor and 40-60FPS indoors.
The computer reached 62C at most. The FPS went up 8-10 FPS in general.
But I prefer it non-clocked since it's always safer and more reliable...


Igbob85 May have the lowest spec but computers are as human in differences,two exact same computers can give way different speed, I remebered My old P2 MMX 233MHz comp, haha when playing Diablo 2 and Alien vs Preditor 2 it had almost 3 times more fps that my friends P3 700MHz he had AGP and mine had only PCI (primary 2MB card Ati rage2 and Secondary card(s) 2 Voodoo2 cards in SLI (yeah SLI isn't a new technology...) I don't remembered his card but it was as new as the computer.
So Igbob85's comp can be good in some things that aren't supposed to be good on it... but man you need more ram my 233MHz had 192MB...
