Your PC

damn, sweet comp Albee

Thx. I finally can play Crisis on 1440x900, Very High and with AA without framerate drops.

Yeah, nice computer Albee.

Crysis isn't a game, but a PC performances benchmark! To play it without lag at least at 1280x1024, with filters and Very High quality you need the actual top or something similar.

My computer is:

Intel Celeron 1.73 ghz :O
640MB ram Goodram (512 + 128) 266mhz
ATI Radeon 9550 128mb 128bit

But I will try new in the nearest future new computer

Used my old pc today..had a wacky idea.

I now have 3 computers....but only 1 screen for 2 pc's so I can't use the 2 pc's. (Well I can using RDC and my laptop)

I had to find my old gfx card...and it went from there. I decided that I would either put linux or Win2k on my old pc and I put win2k, becuase I had a win2k license still.

It goes like this:

Little update to my (new) old PII:
It's now a DualHead workstation.
I connected my old Sony Triniton Color TV to it. Now I've always my amaroK in eye while I'm playing under Windows XP on my AMD box or when i'm surfing with it.

Btw.: It's now Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 8.04.

lol PII, where is the time I never had it, switched from 8088 to 486 DX to PIII atm I'm at PIII omg, since my PIV got fried by the lightning
I have another s478 mobo for it, but need to buy CPU I think ... I found website in Germany which still sells it
great
don't want to buy new comp because I can fix this with minor exspenses, and it's still good for M$ Office + internet & games like WR2/TDU/MM2/NFS Carbon-ProStreet-Most Wanted/Racer... etc
except very latest games not possible to play like CMR DiRT and so
will get new one within year or something

edit: btw this PIII totally sucks, it's too slow and has crapspecs. like:
20GB HDD (samsung )
+ my 80GB mounted to it
3*128MB sdram?
AGP 2x ? Creative 3d annihilator Pro geforce 256
3com Etherlink ISA (yes isa slot ) PNP Ethernet adaptor
the mobo is so modern it only sees hdd drives upto 130GB omg
lol but I can connect to the net so I'm happy xD
This PIII is like 6 years old or more it first had win ME and now XP

Did some tweaks:
- New graphics card (Zotac GF 9800 GTX AMP! Edition) because the previous one has burned down to hell.
- New mainboard (EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW) because the previous one sucked.
- Clocked the CPU up to 3,2 Ghz.

If you have no idea what to do with money, send some to me...

[Albee]

What's wrong with my new hardware?

[georgy]

Albee p0w3r

because the previous one has burned down to hell.

lol your writing .. it's too funny

Btw. I'm at MSI PT880 Pro Neo which is totally shitty , even doesn't recognize USB 2.0 (after bios reset & format C)

In very beginning of July I buy new computer can't even acces my ext. HDD on a decent way now pfff
MSI = crap (lol I can't even upgrade my bios)
I downloaded bios update, they say make boot disk, I did ... than I boot from boot disk, and than I have to acces hdd to acces bios update files (which I had to extract according to them to c:\test)
now the funny thing is I can't even acces my HDD (c drive) in DOS mode hahaha ~ totally noobed
crap-sh*t-zor MSI

Asus = The best
sad it got burned by lightning & the shop didn't return me an asus ... gonna prosecute them for that because they kept the back-up for themselves and probably sold it to another customer for big money !

Was once upon a time very pleased with my MSI GeForce FX5600 card, my bluetoothstick from MSI does a good job, but bad reports about the service and quality of MSI products accumulate.

I think I'll save my money to get a nice lil' ... Lenovo Thinkpad R61 *g*

[georgy]

The only thing I don't like about it is the ... intel GFX

[MANfan]

Lol, I don't want to play current games on it.
It's a notebook, it's portable, no gaming machine.
With much luck the installed Windows XP and Intel graphicchipset can offer me support for old games I can't play on my amd box anymore.

And another reason for the chipset is very good linux support (with OSS-drivers) and a low power consumption.

[georgy]

It seems like you did a decent study about this one What kind of games you think of than ?

[Albee]

OMG! This is sick! Since the GF GTX 280 came out, I feel like my PC is soooooo lame...
