YoshiSlayer · 08-11-2007, 06:59 PM

just got my new computer the other day and let me tell you, its fricken awesome!

2.66 core 2 duo proccessor
256mb nvidia 8600 GTS DX10 enable
4g of ram (forgot the specific kind)
running windows vista for the DX10
20" ultrasharp widescreen LCD
saitek eclipse II keyboard
Logitech G5 gaming laser mouse
Creative SB X-fi sound card

umm thats all that i can think of right now

it runs so smooth, i can have WoW running, FFR running, Itunes and Windows media player running, and AIM all running at the same time with no slowdown what-so-ever, its a beast

Rayje655 · 08-11-2007, 07:00 PM

Hehe I need a computer like that. :/

Or not. I just need a computer that doesn't glitch, so that I don't screw up my combos on ffr.

**Zageron** · 08-11-2007, 07:03 PM

Nice.

o.o

Raziel_Darkeden · 08-11-2007, 07:47 PM

ooo. pretty.

~HentaiXXX~ · 08-11-2007, 07:48 PM

No slowdown whatsoever? That's like a super compy...

Shashmakito · 08-11-2007, 07:50 PM

The kb sucks poop.
I like playing CSS GW itunes WMP AIM MSN ICQ WINAMP Toerrents all at once.

But I do lose like 10 fps on CSS.

Tps222 · 08-11-2007, 07:58 PM

You don't need 4gb of ram.

Get rid of vista.

YoshiSlayer · 08-11-2007, 08:04 PM

no dont get rid of vista, y? because it has direct X 10, which is only on vista

the new games coming out support DX10 and will drastically increase the visual quality of the game that supports it, any computer gamer would get it

You've been listening to Microsoft's propaganda too much.

I'll go back to 3.1 before I "upgrade" to Vista. And DX10 has a long way to go.

YoshiSlayer · 08-11-2007, 08:09 PM

no i dont listen to any propaganda, i do my own research before i state anything, yes i agree it has a long way to go but there will be driver updates anyway, so y not?

anyway, does anyone play WoW here? if so u should re-roll on my server, ill send some gold your way to get started and such

OrganisM · 08-11-2007, 08:42 PM

If you do your research, why are you using Vista? I don't like PC Police myself.

g4z33b0 · 08-11-2007, 09:00 PM

ideally you should get rid of vista and switch to XP Pro, but i guess you want to keep your DX10. frankly your mouse is trash. try out a Microsoft intellimouse 1.1. 4 gigs of ram seems like overkill. i assume you are a gamer, so an LCD is a pretty horrible choice. if you want the best gaming results you should swap the LCD for a big CRT, preferably a Samsung or Viewsonic.

YoshiSlayer · 08-11-2007, 10:18 PM

actually its the best mouse ive had, and i dont have a lot of deskspace so i kinda needed a flat panel monitor, and it is actully very nice, ill post a vid. of it soon so u can see the whole thing. i chose 4gigs of ram because i do a lot of video editing and 2gigs on my old computer just wasnt cutting it anymore

but i do appreciate your thoughts, thanks

OrganisM · 08-11-2007, 10:37 PM

It also depends upon the speed of the ram, the processor, and a ton of other things. A Windows 32-bit OS ends up using 3.5 gigs of that ram. What's the speed on that RAM? What's your chipset? You left a whole lot of the most important stuff out.

g4z33b0 · 08-11-2007, 10:40 PM

i mean LCDs aren't bad, i have dual monitors running on my desktop and one of them is a Samsung LCD, but i use the CRT for gaming for the higher refresh rates and better pixel definition. to each his own on the mouse, the G5 just isn't for me i guess.

madmatt621 · 08-11-2007, 10:55 PM

Where'd you get it from? Maybe I can find a laptop with the same specifications...or even better.

**Tayfun** · 08-11-2007, 11:33 PM

nice computer.

Maid · 08-11-2007, 11:50 PM

Nice PC.

Here is my build from 2006 december

3.15 core 2 duo, (I overclocked it, bought the cheapest back then, e6300 1.88, I oced it higher actually but decided to stay at 3.15 cause, higher was lot of heat and differnce in benches was small)
7900GT (also overclocked, runs cool enough at around 50c avg.)
2gigs ram(overclocked to 1:1 ratio, forgot the timing sets I did for it, but they are pretty nice)
x-fi creative card
logitech media elite
150gig raptor
Razer Diamonback 1600dpi mouse with polling usb rate set to 1000hz - it %^&* owns in FPS ;p
19inch widescreen lcd with around 4ms refresh(I don't need bigger, cause of my desk size)

Anyways my pc can run whatever I want at max sets with great frame rate, FFR on high quality and no lag with many progs running along. I get avg FPS in FEAR at 1440x900 resolution, max sets = I get avg of 50 fps with lowest from the test thing at 34fps. Also I run WoW on pretty much 60+ fps all the time.

beaner692 · 08-11-2007, 11:52 PM

Thats awesome dude, only one thing

Vista is repulsive, trust me youl grow to hate it =/

JurseyRider734 · 08-11-2007, 11:52 PM

Yeah DEF don't talk smack about the Logitech G5. You're hurting my feelings. When that happens, someone dies.
