Torns just shown me a real killer pc, sorry jugger, but it even kills yours.

3800+ amd 64, 2 nvidia 6800 gt's and a gig of ram for fun, the only thing I would do to it would be to add some kinkston ram, not the kind you can take lightly either, im after the heat shielded godness they do :p

Now I just need some money :p

Loller.

Jugger's pc isn't that special because it's a P4. AMD 64 3200+ (what I have) beats even a P4 3.6 in benchmarks (i was showing sam last night lol). GO AMD YOU BUFFOONS!

And why do I need 1gb of ram (I have 512) or anything above a radeon 9600 (what I have) when I can run HL2 at full graphics and get 60fps.

Speaking of graphics cards, there was an amazing article in PCGamer about our obsession with getting the latest stuff. It's a laugh.

y'know you could wait 'till somebody puts on a really good offer (like I did) and get a pretty good PC, then just upgrade what isn't as good as you'd like... like I might upgrade my RAM some time...

I have a nice big sexy monitor.. .so me is happy :p

and it runs nice and fast

and it was cheap enough, with a pretty good printer chucked in

I have p4 3ghz
512 DDR Ram
160gb HDD (dunno what rpm... but fast enough for my likings)
Nvidea GeForce 5200
big sexy 17" TFT Monitor ^_^
which is black
not baige
or silver
black
and very sexy

I haven't upgraded my pc at all yet... ain't needed to :p

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have one because the Athlon notebooks were way to expensive.
P4 2000
256+512 MB DDRRam (No name+kingston)
20 GB Hdd (+160 external)
DVD burner external
ATI Radeon M9 (sucks, but I don't like shooters, so whatever)
15"TFT internal :-P
21" normal monitor external (free from daddys work, he's an architect)
That's pretty much everything interesting at it :-)

yeah you all talk, but look at the money i've spend on it...
not much for all the hardware i've got running ;)

and sure there are computers which would own mine fair and square but still i'm having a monstermachine ;) i've got the 1024 ram because i need to run my flightsim IL2/Forgotten Battles+Aces Expansion Pack+Pacific Fighters a bit smooth on 'perfect' settings.. which requires atleast a comp as fast as mine is..
