Darn, i want your computer.

I have 4 Computers, they all suck pretty bad individually, but together, one good computer :)

I run tons of Programs that need BIG RAM, so i'm sad.

Why do you have XP Home edition?

[Inside Sin]

*cough* Dad's Computer *cough*

[kuvasz]

OS: Windows XP SP2
CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+ @ ~1.9GHz
RAM: 1024MB (not sure how to check clock speed)
GPU: nVidia Geforce 7300 GT, 128MB DDR3

Yeah... I own you all.

[-LT-]

What version of XP are you using?

[kuvasz]

Professional. Does it matter? I thought they only differed in features and put the same amount of strain on a system.

[Inside Sin]

^ So did I.

Kuvasz, -|LT|-'s owns yours...

@ -|LT|-:

No, thats my dad's computer :p

[furrer]

My computer is a pure gamer computer:
Core 2 Duo 2,2
2GB RAM 1066mhz with Hyper X
640 mb Grafic RAM
520 GB Hardisk 300mb/s
cost: +2000USD (11000 Danish (yes im from Denmark) kr.)
Im to lazy to write anything more...

[-LT-]

No, thats my dad's computer :p


Ohhh Silly me. :P I removed the post

[kuvasz]

What GPU though?

And Inside, you gotta love irony ;)

[Wlck742]

I've got the most expensive amount of rig probably anyone has:

CPU: Core 2 Duo Extreme 3.9 GHz (?)
Windows XP Professional SP2
2GB RAM
8800 Ultra SLi
17 inch LCD
1TB hard drive.

Total cost was well over USD $2500 if I remember right.

I have a second comp, though this one's much more reasonable:

Windows XP Professional SP2
Core 2 Duo E4300 OC'ed from 1.8 GHz to 3.47 GHz (!!!!)
Nvidia 7900 GS
2GB RAM
500-ish GB hard drive.

All in all I could've bought a car for this price.

[BirdofPrey]

I have Vista Home Premium SP1
1GB memory
Athalon 64 3800+
Radeon X1650
integrated generic sound
Altec lansing 2.1 speakers
Samsung 20 in wide screen monitor
generic MS wireless keyboard
and a Logitec MX Revolution Mouse (Shiney)

[furrer]

2GB RAM

How many MHZ? And i think its intresting that you buy a so good processor and a so good graphic card(s), when you RAM seems "pretty bad". And how fast is you harddisk? mine is 300MB/s, and that helps out when the Ram's cant handle it.

[Wlck742]

I actually don't remember what MHz my RAM was, but my hard disk is two 500GB 3Gb/s in RAID. It's weird that my RAM's so weak but it's never been a problem for me. I don't plan on upgrading for a long, long time.

[furrer]

At least you have an upper Hardisk that can help you, when you have problems with you RAM.

its ok i guess

(btw my computer got 1,5 TB in memory ffs :D)

[Wlck742]

1.5 TB in memory? Don't you mean hard drive? 1.5 TB RAM is impossible with today's technology sa far as I know. Unless you happen to own a supercomputer...

[LordKerwyn]

I would guess thats what it is because earlier in the post it says he has 1.5 GB Ram or he just made a mistake and put TB for GB.


I personally have:

Windows XP
2.80 Ghz Pentium 4
2 GB Ram
Radeon 9800 Pro
160 GB Hard disk space.

[Inside Sin]

Nice Specs guys!!!!

1.5terrabyte in RAM is.... as far as we know, impossible.

[Inpox]

RAM? i said memory. (thats a direct translation from my language) anyway, i guess it must be hard disk space i guess in english

[BirdofPrey]

Memory generally refers to RAM. The hard drive is often refered to as "storage"

[Inpox]

ahh ok. Storage it is then i guess

[Meee]

We also use memory for both RAM and hard drive. Although for hard drive there's also 'capacity' I think

[AcE_01]

you guys have uber computers =]

my computer is so bad that i just dont wanna write it out =.=
let me tell you, my computer can only just run warcraft3 smoothly on normal graphics......and it can no-way, run starcraft 2

im planning on getting a new comp at the end of this year =]

[kuvasz]

you guys have uber computers =]

You must've missed my post then :D

But not even Warcraft III on full? Ouch.

[furrer]

RAM stands for Random Acess Memory, so Memory is normaly used for RAM...

[kuvasz]

They're not talking about that, they're talking about direct translations from their mother tongues ::)
Hungarian uses RAM or memory for RAM and hard disk or winchester for the HDD.

[Outcaster]

I have:

Pentium 4 HT at 3.06 Ghz

ATI RADEON HD2600xt with 512 GDD3(1400Mhz), the VPU has 800Mhz

[furrer]

How fast is you RAM and how many mb/s has you harddisk if i may ask?

[DontHate]

Huh? Last time i checked 2 gigs of ram was quite enough, unless you're doing stuff with modeling or something...
Anyways, my specs are

Intel C2D at 3.0
Vista home premium
2 gigs of ram
230 gigs HDD
8600gt

Btw, I have a pretty wicked keyboard and mouse. Logitech's g15 and mx518

[Wlck742]

Uh,I would get a good mouse + keyboard only I don't want to spend $100+ on it.

God Dam it ImaGiNe. I want more RAM like you.... 0.0

[ImaGiNe.]

I actually just had 512 MB until two days ago. I purchased two 1 gigabyte DDR2-533 RAM models for $54.60. Great deal!

[AcE_01]

my brothers laptop has 3gigs of ram =D

depending on his videocard and his speed, but im pretty sure he can play sc2 on his laptop when it comes out =]

[aMp]

Here's mine:

*And a whole lotta extra bull**** crammed in!

If I think of anything else to put here I will.

I will post a picture of it as soon as I find my camera.

EDIT: I found some pics on google of my exact rig and the monitor.

[-LT-]

I have the same desktop image like the one in the 2nd picture!

[Outcaster]

How fast is you RAM and how many mb/s has you harddisk if i may ask?


my RAM is DDR so it has a 400Mhz frequency only, as for the HDD i know only that itt has 7200 Rpm

[MarineCorp]

I envy all these computer systems.....dammit after i seen amp's geared up PC i was think what it would be like if you would play sc on that especially imagine's

[aMp]

Well, mine can play Crysis with almost all the graphics options on high, and it plays sc easier than i can sit down in a chair.

I can't wait to see how it handles sc2!

[574RCR4F7]

BOOYA! >:D

[furrer]

Many good PC´s... I hate when people see my RAM´s (2GB), and then say: Hehehe i own you i have 3 gig´s etc. etc. etc... many people dont even know that the frequency matter (1066 :D)...

[Inside Sin]

Hey, i have like....

480mb RAM

Everything goes slow/average speeds, when i get 1gig, next month or so, will it increase speed dramatically?

[Blackskies]

ill show you a good computer when sc2 comes out. Falcon Northwest..... Gift from the parents :) don't know the stats on it yet so ill give that and pictures later. 4 terabytes though

[furrer]

A big harddisk doesnt matter for games, its how fast it is (hehehe mine is 300mb/s).

[DontHate]

Well, mine can play Crysis with almost all the graphics options on high, and it plays sc easier than i can sit down in a chair.

I can't wait to see how it handles sc2!

Huh?!?!
I have an 8600gt that can barely run it on medium. Did you overclock it to extreme measures or something? Not even an 8800gt can run it on max.

[furrer]

DontHate my grafic card can handle it, and its 8800 series (640mb)...
And i did not overclock...

[aMp]

@DontHate: Not "all" the settings are maxed, only the little useless ones. I don't have shadows and shaders and all that maxed. LOL No way! And BTW: Mine runs DirectX10, maybe that's it. If you are running DX9, you're not getting all the performance out of it.

[furrer]

aMp mine is DX10 too!

[aMp]

Nice. Looks really good huh?

Do you have a HD monitor?

[furrer]

I have only played the demo (not my game style), but my friend has the game, and i burrowed it and played it a bit... No Im just having a normal (not so costly) monitor, the PC costed enought by it self...

[jamaylott]

all monitors are high def......
Nice. Looks really good huh?



Do you have a HD monitor?


all monitors are high def.... HD has to do with the pixel count on your screen, my Samsung CRT is a 19" that has a ratio of 5X4 which makes it high def running at like 2060X1600. Plus CRT's dont have a refreash rate either :)

[Hunter]

Umm they do. It is important. At LCD it isn't important but every monitor has a "refresh rate"
I think :D

[furrer]

Ok, im not to much into monitors, was unsure what he said...
Mine is 1600 x 1200, but i prefer 1280 x 1024, so thats what im using...
Oh Hunter posted while I was wrting, I think my refresh rate is 2ms (that was what i was going after)...

[DontHate]

Huh? You have a widescreen on normalscreen?
I have Samsung(yay!) but it's not widescreen so i'm looking into monitors.
I think i'm getting the acer 22'' widescreen. Seems like a GREAT deal.

[aMp]

gateway has great monitors (thats what i have) in HD, and it's 19" for $250.


all monitors are high def......


??what??

[furrer]

Huh? You have a widescreen on normalscreen?

1600 x 1200 isnt widescreen

I don't know much about all these specs and stuff but I'm not really a gamer and I probably win the prize for worst computer here. :D

[DontHate]

Yea, that's a pretty old processor and also really low amounts of RAM. You're hard drive's also pretty small.
I suggest getting a new computer, or at least when SC2 comes out, because i'm pretty sure that one won't be able to run it at all.

[Wlck742]

Yah. You should get the new GeForce 9600. I've heard it's really good for its price and it's just as good as an 8800 GT which is even more expensive.

[furrer]

8800 is better performance wise...

[gtx75]

well, the 9600 GT doesn't fall too far behind the 8800 GT, I think I read somewhere that it runs as fast as the 8800 GT, but i could be wrong. the 8800 GT also runs extremely hot, whereas the 9600 GT does not run as hot.

[furrer]

It does not run as fast as the 8800, and it suffers in enspeically RTS games (its as good in FPS games)... (have it from a danish website)

Not even my laptop?

Edit:

Whoa I was just looking at memories, and I didn't know RAM was that cheap to buy, any recomendations on what kinda memory and graphics card to buy?
Also note I'm not a gamer, I'm more of a artist which does include graphics, so something that can make my pc handle big 3D programs like Maya or 3DSMAX :]

Actually graphics cards made especially for 3D work is even more expensive than most gaming cards, the cheapest I've seen was around $400 and the best ones going over $2000. PER CARD. Unless you really need to make a ton of 3D artwork in a short time, you should settle for a normal card. Also you should get at least Dual Core, my favorite brand being Intel of over 2.3GHz clock speed. 2 GB of ram is prolly enough.

[furrer]

For 3D work i would recommen fast RAM´s (1000+ MHZ).
