Or I just can't stand slow assed machines

I doubt you'd feel the difference between the 920 and the 975

gut feel tells me go for the middle and save on the cost, while sticking with a machine that can do what you need it to

unless you're doing full blown supercomputing i would really not go to that extreme (like quad SLi :p )

Tho next thing i'm doing is telling my boss to go for 12GB of ram (another 6GB of DDR3)

I think it might be a case of too much money. Cause I'd get a similar system if I had tons of cash! Though even if I had tons, I'd still chase value/performance.

otherwise, I'm happy with my 6400+ AMD.. Still previous gen and works great ^..^

Pretty much just got a new system (well some parts are still missing :/)


Mobo: MSI 790FX
CPU: AMD Phenom II Quad 965 Black Edition @ 3.4Ghz
Gfx: Force3D HD5870
RAM: 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz (hoping to get 4gb+)
HDD:500Gb
Screen: 17"
Case: ATX Nine Hundred
and yeah that's pretty much it but it could've been more but thanks to our high prices.....

I gots a new Dell Studio 1555 laptop. Not custom built, or ANYTHING like the monsters mentioned above, but quite decent for most things!

Spec wise:
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz
4GB RAM
320GB HDD
ATi Radeon Mobility HD4570 (similar to a NVidia GeForce 9600 series)
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
4 Years onsite repair warranty
4 Hours battery life

It runs Burnout Paradise absolutely beautifully ^^

I'll go to the other extreme ...

Intel Atom N250 (1.6 GHz Dual Core)
2GB Ram
10.2" Touch screen
6 hours battery life

And all the other nice addons ...
Ish my Dell Lattitude 2100 netbook

Is awesome, love the 5 second bootup

-sighs- My battery is dying/dead. I get 15 minutes of battery life...

Thats a lot compered to my 35sec battery life on windows XP with my macbook pro ><
oddly like 4 hours on OSX...

Wow, that is short. Still at least you know you're out of battery. If I don't realise I don't have power I have just enough time to get into a game of Dota or something before it goes down and ruins what I'm doing.

LOL, whoooopy:

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 @ 2.60GHZ
Jetway Pro Motherboard with Intel G31 Express Chipset
4 Gig DDR2 800MHz
750 Gig HDD SATA2
Geforce 9500GT PCI-e Card
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit OS
HP 19" LCD Screen

Left anything out?

OK OK, im a poor guy ok?

Got an update and BRINGING THIS TREAD TO LIIFFEEEE (and probably the site x3)

Mobo: MSI 790FX-GD70
CPU: AMD Phenom II Quad 965 Black Edition @ 4.25Ghz
Gfx: 2x HD5870 CrossFireX

Life? what's that?

I got my desktop up again ...

Core i7 860
2x 6600GTs in SLI
4GB DDR3 (i'm gonna go to 8 when funds permit)
Xfi Fatality FPS
DTT3500 speakers
26" Acer screen
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case

and no watercooling!

amazingly enough SLI kicks my experioance index from 4.5 to 5.1, so SLI makes a difference!

lol it comes to life and i get too forget about this again >_<
thats odd cuz with one 5870 my index was 7.8 and with 2 its... 7.8 >~>

how can you use 6600's D: so old, i hated a 8600m >_>

oh yeah and update to specs, 26" monitor kinda fell over, onto stuffsss meh anyway 23" LED is nicer =D

I use 6600s simply because i don't have enough money to upgrade

life sucks sometimes, but at least the SLi does try make them a little better!

one day i will upgrade!

Dracius built me a system so I can now play games.

Sigh. I need those. I played Crysis and found I was below 20fps at max graphics. I turned it down to high then and it worked pretty well, except for lagging when I spun and it tried to blur everything. Then I got attacked by this giant alien on a ship and the game only played for 10s then froze for 5s, played 10s etc. I checked the System Monitor (crashing Crysis in the process) and found it was using pretty much all my ram, not sure how to check graphics usage though. So I had to turn graphics down to medium for the boss fight.

Crysis is probably the worst thing ever, it cant even use 4 cores properly and you need like 2gb VRAM to run all those textures :/

Just looked at some watercooling parts, Am I just retarded at searching or are they really like R5000+ for at least CPU cooling o~o (the CPU block alone is like R2500).

if you get a watercooling kit it's pretty cheap, the coolermaster series, or the thermaltake series, they fit nicely into your case, are not too heavy, and work pretty well.

I'll need to check current pricing, but shouldn't be over R2000 .. i paid less than that for mine a few years ago o.o

Yeah I'm looking at HK/Heatkiller 3.0/Swiftech blocks. But I seriously don't know where to get this stuff ;w; (I have a TRUE currently so like H50/H70 aren't an upgrade :/)

Links would be nice <3

It finally happened ... i upgraded my Graphics

i went from 2x 6600GTs in SLi to something i would only consider completely insane and crazy

someone throw me in a looney bin!

I went and got my a gigabyte GeForce 460 Oc edition, and then had to upgrade me to an 800W PSU for ...

The second on i put in SLi ...

yes, 2x 460s .... yeah, i'm crazy

Shoot me now!

Recent upgrade...some might be curious to see the chassis, which I've had and had modified over the last several years. My main PC is currently a Core i3 4GB DDR3 2.5TB w/ 8GB ReadyBoost. More than enough as a work PC - I don't play any games :p

Woah thread must live :p

Gonna get a Corsair 800D, EK Supreme HF CPU waterblock, RX360 rad and EK 4.0 Pump with a Swiftech res soon

Also ZOMG YUKON HAZ TEH FLOPPEH DISK

Personally I really hate those type of cases, so obviously chose something more... elegant :p;

Personally I really don't like see-through cases and a gazillion different colored lights. Give me a unified color scheme and an elegant case over that any day :3
