Crysis, COD4, Halo2, Gears of War...ect.

**hoochan** · 12-8-2007, 08:10 PM

You don't need a 1000 dollar computer to run FFR or SM.

**ELRayford** · 12-8-2007, 08:37 PM

Memory Standard DDR2 800 is that motherboards standard ram. I would go for the 2 GB kit of the 800 mhz memory. Other than that very nice. You have neweggs price beat. $1485.90 is what they are charging. Thats a sick machine

xinpig · 12-8-2007, 09:55 PM

orly ELRayford

QFT Why drop the dual vidcards? Decisions decisions

**jimerax** · 12-8-2007, 10:12 PM

RAM is quite cheap nowadays

xinpig · 12-8-2007, 10:15 PM

when i make it my self i save about 400 dollars but i have no warranties aside from the 90day mfc. warranties. O-well if thats how i save money then so be it

another plus if i make it myself i could have it in 3-days vs 2 weeks with ibuypower

ppl say thats not a great setup but i am not a gamer that counts the numbers i.e. has to have the best of the best

**ELRayford** · 12-8-2007, 10:18 PM

Def build it yourself. It feels good building a system of that stature. That will eat through w/e you throw at it.

xinpig · 12-8-2007, 10:19 PM

it will rape BF2 at max settings and should run very well with crysis at high settings
better than what we have to use
1gb ram
250gb hd
radeon 1950 pro 512mb gfx card
17in 4:3 monitor
1ghz dual core

standard HP brand weaksauce

Roi Siveran · 12-8-2007, 11:08 PM

moar rams iz neaded
u cnt hve enuf rams

vista iz no

Yeah, don't get Vista if you hope to play FFR or StepMania. It turns your pretty computer into something that you want to throw through the window. And if you want to have a non-laggy game, try to get ungodly amounts of RAM. Otherwise, you will just get a three second freeze whenever you get an update alert from anything.

Also, I don't see a monitor on there. Get one that won't burn FFR into your mind, unless you want to memorize songs. Seriously, I close my eyes after playing FFR for ten minutes with this monitor and I see a giant white rectangle, with a black bar where the arrows are permanently at the top. eet hertz mai ize.

Crysis would probably be played better with dual video cards

get more ram

**dore** · 12-9-2007, 12:44 AM

It's not that hard to have a good FFR computer.

**PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR** · 12-9-2007, 01:15 AM

Tell me how that keyboard works out. I've been looking at that one for some time now, but have yet to get it or hear anything about it.

xinpig · 12-9-2007, 04:49 PM

the top setup will be used to play crysis and other stuff

i might try to dual boot the hd with xp or linux on about 10 gigs so i can play stepmania

Wootsicle · 12-9-2007, 08:07 PM

You can get Vista and still play FFR as long as you get 8Gig of RAM.

Sry-- XP only supports 3 gigs.

BTW: Vista=phail until they get rid of DRM.

Seinken · 12-10-2007, 03:18 AM

You're going to regret that processor purchase considering AMD's current performance vs Intel.

My computer would most likely eat yours for breakfast, and it was around 500$ cheaper to build. =/
