AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2 GHz i think 1024gb ram 200gb hard drive ati radeon xpress 200 new comp got on dec 26.
That's what the CPU says when you plug a GeForce into the AGP slot. My computer, one of the lowest in spec here yet! Pentium 4 1.6 GHz 512 MB Kingston DDR266 RAM 2 x 40GB Maxtor Diamondplus ATA 133 HDD Nvidia GeForce FX5200 128 MB RAM Intel BG845 mainboard Soundblaster Live! 5.1 As you can see, it can hardly run Half-Life 2 in DirectX 8.0/8.1 without a stutter and Doom III will kill it for good. I F.E.A.R it won't survive for long. The good news though, is that it can run Simcity 4000 very well - one of the older games that I'm still at.
I got a small form factor case/motherboard from Soltek It's running a P4D 3.0 ghz CPU 1 gig of OCZ ram 36 gig WD Raptor SATA 10,000 RPM 250 gig external Maxtor ATI X800XL (it says minimum 300 Watt PSU needed but it runs fine with my tiny 250 Watt PSU) Liteon DVD burner and my newest toy is a 21'' widescreen gateway LCD
i'm waiting for intel new chips later this year they r touting 40% faster, something to write home about
we'll see how many versions come available. my current pc serving me quite well right now. I'm really hoping for a pc-entertainment unit when vista comes out, it prolly need a faster pc to run it anyway
my PC system Hi All Just to add my Comp spec: Processor : Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Motherboard : Abit IC7-Max3 Memory: 3 GB Graphics: 128mb Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2ZS + Altec Lansing ADA 890 4.1 speakers Hardrive: 1 x 120 Gb , 1 x 40 Gb Optical Drives: Plextor CD Writer , Plextor DVD Writer ( dual layer) Case: Antec Sonata Cheers Pete
There are lots of reviews for the GS but it looks in my opinion slightly disappointing. Since you have super powered cards in PCI Express and with the amount of bandwidth available to the AGP 8x port, the performance isn't that great in that respect. However that is currently one of the best AGP cards have to offer
Hi Pete LSD I usually play stuff like Far Cry and Everquest 2. I even dabble in FM2005. Am thinking of buying F.E.A.R which looks really good Do you play anything? Pad
I'm waiting for this as well before upgrading. I'm on a P4 1.5, 640Mb RAM. just installed a 200Mb hard disk that was sorely needed. Just waiting for the new OS and the computers specs to upgrade to its requirements. I think I can last another year and a half with my present computer - if I can live with its bugs
You mean 200GB my friend. I doubt you're that desperate for space that you'd put in a vintage 200MB hard disk. Btw Pete since you've played Empire Earth 2, have you tried Civilization 4. It's pretty awesome.
my system acually doesnt run, i think mobo is defective, but im working on it Specs: Mainboard5ND2 SLI Deluxe Processor: Pentium D 840,Freezer 7 Graphics : 7800 GTX PSU: Thermaltake PurePower 500W Ram : Kingston 5400 DDR2 2GB HDD: Samsung Sata2 2x200GB Raid O
, I still have a 96MB and 120MB HDDs in my cupboard, owned from new. Still work too, used them briefly for a vintage-gaming computer based on a 386 DX-40, but replaced with a much bigger drive as it was fine as long as drive size was within the FAT16 size limit, so I used a 2.1GB drive.
3 Gb ....might just be enough ..lol Well the 3 Gb is so i can have smooth running of online gaming .Which was for Everquest 2. Good for quicking zoning through different areas . Originally I had a pair of 512's in my PC but it struggled with EQ2. People recommend 1 Gb for but i think 2 Gb is best for optimum play. So are there any EQ2 players out there. If so I play in the Runnyeye server . You never know we might have bumped into each other and not have known . I have been thinking of upgrading the FX card but that might wait till I upgrade the whole system on a later date.
