Good office computer, not really good for games though

At least he can play RA2 at dazzling speeds. (His old computer sucked monkey balls. )

 

I say all he needs is an awesome video card.

Same thought here....I'm buying 512mb soon to get my RAM up to 1Gb

[Thierry 0]

I already got 1GB and it aint enough lol, upgrading to 2GB soon

[Guest Rabbit]

Ok, so it's not as good as I though... sue me.

[Sonic 296]

Its fine, once you double the ram and drop in a decent video card it will be good.

[Koen 2]

It's a great machine - I'm thinking there is a WD Raptor as the main HD in there, which kicks ass. And it's a top-quality mainboard with an Intel chipset. 512MB is enough for most games today, but in the future more never hurts.

The only thing it lacks is a dedicated video card to play 3D games like Generals. I'm not sure if this on-board one will work there.

[Thierry 0]

Ok I'll make what I think is a pretty medium/good comp for games of today

 

CPU: 2.6ghz or higher

RAM: 1GB

HD: 80GB or higher

Vidcard: Ati 9600pro/Nvidia 5900 or higher.

Audio: 2.1, but prefferably 5.1 (is not expensive nowadays)

[Guest Rabbit]

How much do you think it would cost for 1gb ram and a good video card?

[Luk3us 63]

I already got 1GB and it aint enough lol, upgrading to 2GB soon

 

lol, do you really need MS word to load up a whole half second faster than usual?

[TheBlackOut 7]

How much do you think it would cost for 1gb ram and a good video card?

 

About 100 dollars for a good dual channel thing of RAM(1GB... 512MBx2)

Maybe 100-300 for a video card. I would recommend a nVidia GeForce 6800 or higher...

 

Also, you need to know if you have PCI, AGP 8x or 4x or 2x, or PCI-E.

my computer is still better than y'alls....lol

I've had it for a year, but my 3ghz, 1gig ram+1 gig virtual ram, 160gb harddrve & ATI 256 pc trump still owns

My new putter will own yours.

[Guest Rabbit]

Only if we go golfing.

That was a clever joke, I must say. :lol:

[Guest Rabbit]

That's more or less the same as my computer. I'm going to be upgrading the video card and I'll either put another 512 or 1GB RAM card in soon. I may need to upgrade the processor as well (mine's a 2.8 GHZ AMD Athlon, any suggestions?).

[Guest MadBadger]

:lol: i gota 2GHZ p4

 

gona have a 3.2 GHZ P4 soon thou

UPGRADE TIME!

 

While I much prefer NVidia, the new ATI X1900 is just demolishing the 7800 GTX 512 in the benchmarks, so... I'm getting one of those

 

That, and I'm swapping out my mobo with a new Asus nForce4 board, a 650 watt PSU, a new AMD 4000 San Diego core CPU, and my 2 sticks of RAM (1 gb a piece) now actually in dual channel. Yes, it will own.

 

 

By the way, I have a question... has anyone had any experience with Rosewill PSUs? I'm unfamiliar with the name, but the item I'm looking at has gotten great reviews on newegg, so I assume it's fine. I just know how important quality PSUs can be. Also, how important is PFC in a power supply? If you've got a really good battery backup/surge protector, does it really matter? Thanks.

I'm getting a freakin awesome HP with Intel's new VIIV processor soon. It's going to be amazing.
