Computer specifications

makini · 03-02-2007, 01:00 PM

I'd like to know what you people are gaming with - if most of you have regular computers, or if there are people here with full-fledged gaming machines?

Myself, I have a prettyr regular computer these days - but wehn I bought it a year ago, it was quite an impressive compilation:

AMD 3200+ processor
ATI Radeon x800 256MB
1024 MB DDR2 RAM
250GB HD
Some über-version of a DVD-writing CD-ROM/DVD-ROM-drive

***tabacco*** · 03-02-2007, 03:42 PM

Athlon XP 3200+
GeForce 6800 GT
2048 MB RAM
250 GB HDD + 160GB HDD

My computer is:

MoBo - ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe
CPU - Intel Pentium D 940 Presler 3.2GHz Dual Core
Vid Card - BFG Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2
RAM – 2GB Corsair RAM
HDD - 250GB Western Digital HDD
Monitor - Dell's UltraSharp 2005FPW (20" widescreen)

I love my computer because it's powerful enough for my work and as a side benefit plays (new) games like a dream. Old games, that's another story.

Off topic, but my husband and I also have a Wii, DS, PS2, and Xbox.

from what you define as a regular comp, I guess I have an old one..

ABit NF7 Series Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128mb
1024 MB Ram
120 HDD + 250 HDD

Now this makes me wonder what you're working with?

Now that's a definition I leave open, not calling you comp old - not at all.. Just as mine, it's "last years best"

Athlon 64 X2 3800+
512MB RAM (soon to be 2048MB)
Geforce Go 7900 GTX 256MB
100GB 5400rpm HD (plus an external 300GB 7200rpm HD, but it's dying on me, so I'm going to have to get it replaced)

mrdriller · 03-02-2007, 09:15 PM

Athlon 64 3200+ (OC'd to 2.6ghz)
2 GB PC3200 RAM
GeForce 6800GT (Also OC'd a fair amount)
250gb SATA HD + A few other smaller HDs.

Nothing special, but it runs everything I throw at it pretty well.

MdaG · 03-02-2007, 11:04 PM

Browsing for a new one, but this is my current (laptop)
Pentium M 1.4 GHz
WSXGA+ LCD 15.4"
768Mb 266MHz DDRAM Memory
40GB (5400 RPM) 9.5MM IDE Hard drive
4X DVD+RW
64MB nVidia NV28 Graphics card
Internal Bluetooth card
Conexant D480 MDC 56k v.92 modem
SigmaTel STAC9750 chipset
Broadcom 570x Gigabit Ethernet controller
Truemobile 1300 WLAN

It's good enough, but I have a 20" TFT ultrasharp widescreen monitor that I want to use for other things than gaming (web surfing

)...

Kolzig · 03-02-2007, 11:05 PM

Athlon XP 3500+
GeForce 6600 GT 128MB

Maybe she's an animator... like me!

AMD 64 X2 3800+
2GB RAM
ATI x1900xtx
35gb WD raptor for windows
500gb for other junk

20" Widescreen Viewsonic LCD

I like to build fairly decent machines that last a few years, then build a new one when it starts to struggle.

Intrepid Homoludens · 03-03-2007, 04:48 PM

Whatever specs the Xbox360 has is what I game on.

Me too, but I always end up building a new machine too often. Even more funny is, I don't even play games on it most of the time - as I'm not a big fan of FPS (including just about every sub-genre) or strategy games. And although I bought Oblivion for the PC after playing the X360 version, for some reason I can't stand the keyboard+mouse combination. I like gamepads better.

Indeed! I'm off to the local store someday to buy myself a PC-gamepad, I desperately need one! Tried playing the PC version of Jade Empire with mouse and keyboard - and I can only say Blah!. It's a disgrace to the game not using a gamepad when playing it.

I'm using a six-year-old computer, and see no good reason to stop. It's got a 933 Mhz Pentium III and 256 MB of RAM. Then it's got a 64 MB GeForce4 MX 440 -a version of the GeForce2- which I added on later, and a 74 GB hard drive that I just got around a year ago. The disc drives my computer came with weren't reliable, so I had them both replaced. But they're still the same types of drives I had before- one reads DVDs, one burns CDs.

And as I said, I see no reason to switch. I take reasonably good care of my computer, so it continues to work reasonably well. I don't play FPSs, so I have no interest in 99% of the commercial games released exclusively for PCs these days.
