Post your system specs!

Any game that can be played on an old pentium is fine by me. I still remember pissing of my mom by playing D2 over the phone line with my friend down the street.

I pick up these new games and read the system requirements. The game only costs $50... but the computer it takes to play it is $2000.

Hi Guys, I don't know a lot of my system except that it works and I can use it.

I have a triple monitor setup at the moment. The 9650XT is driving my 20.1" Dell LCD and my 23" Samsun HDTV LCD.

I was going to ask how the Samsung works for gaming, but I guess you took the cure.


My internet cruiser is a
P4 2.53Ghz
stock cooling
Abit BH7
1GB ram
600 GB drive space (4 drives)
dual layer/dual format 16X DVD
Zip 100
Radeon 9600 SE 256 MB
Compro Pro Gold TV/FM card
Full tower case
450W PS


KVM
19" Argon CRT
Microsoft wireless mouse (I hate their friggin wheel)
Logitech keyboard

For games I have
Athlon XP3000
Asus A7N8X
Thermaltake Volcano 7+
1GB ram
Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB
Plextor 16X CDRW
Sony DVD Rom
80 GB HD

My gaming is starting to show it's age on games like F.E.A.R and COD 2, but games like Farcry and Doom3 play pretty good.
I spend most of my time playing America's Army but I will try any FPS.

One of my all time favorites would have to be the Delta Force series of games. Crappy graphics, but I loved the gameplay. I have enjoyed most of the Tom Clancy games also. Next would come the Diablo games from Blizzard and Hellfire from Sierra. And then there was SOF II

America's Army
H&D 2
Call of Duty
SOF
SOF II
Rainbow Six
Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield
Rainbow Six 3 Athena Sword
Rogue Spear
Rogue Spear Black Thorn
Rogue Spear Urban Ops
Ghost Recon
Ghost Recon Desert Seige
Ghost Recon Island Thunder
Delta Force
Delta Force 2
Delta Force Task Force Dagger
Delta Force Land Warrior
Delta Force Blackhawk Down
Delta Force Blackhawk Down Team Sabre
Command and Conquer Generals
Carmageddon
Nascar Racing 2003
Diablo
Hellfire
Diablo II

Wow
All that's just some of them.
Now I know where my life went.

Time to build a new PC so I can get some newer games.

My specs:

The system is now 4 years old, but it is in a nice Antec SX1040 case with an 18 GB 10k rpm Ultra 160 SCSi drive for OS, (2) 36GB U160 10k RPM SCSI drives in RAID 0 for games and application files, (2) 36GB U160 10k RPM SCSI drives in RAID 1 for data storage and a 250 GB IDE drive for movies and music. The system was bleeding edge when new with an AMD K7 700 overclocked to 900 Mhz with 1 GB or RAM and Radeon 9700 video, but is now getting long in the tooth. Time for an upgrade when I go home for good in December.

I tell ya what, keep those SCSI drives around! Those would FLY on a PCI-E controller hooked into some kind of Athlon64 system. :thumbs:

[snapback]247297[/snapback]​

The Samsung is really a poor computer monitor all around to be honest. First off, the resolution for 702p HDTV is 1280x720, which by computer standards is terrible. Secondly, it refreshes at 60hZ, quite slow. Im not sure what the ms response time is, but i dont think its anything lower than 18-16.

But its a HELLUVA screen for watching my recorded HDTV on!

LOL yeah right!

 

[LGHT]

wow all those fancy cords and cables and stuff looks cool.  Makes my little set of 4 1u rack mount servers with a 2 ter san look silly.  But hey I got 6mb pipe so it comes in handy   

[snapback]246795[/snapback]​

But can it play Quake 4 on extreme quality?

[snapback]246897[/snapback]​

What's quake? :whistling:

One thing I'll definitely miss when I come back to the US is the 24 MB connection.

Hey any of you guys participate in distributed computing projects, specifically Folding@Home? Looks like there is a lot of available firepower in this thread. Check my sig for more info.

As far as my systems, most are hand-medown middle of the road stuff like PIIIs and Celerons. I am working on getting a Palomino 1600+ processor up and running. The one under my desktop at work is an Athlon64 3000+ with 1 GB RAM, which does great for me. Unfortunately I can't fold on it.

I never understood the point of "folding". I think I tried it for a day and then got tired of my machine running slow as crap while folding so I gave up.

Hey Lee are you Lumpy's personal troll? :sign:

And I did 10,000 SETI WU in a SETI team and then said WTF and stopped. My power bill thanked me.

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.

Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.

You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals.

Folding@Home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems thousands to millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.

The programs are set up to run at the lower priority possible. However the programs are not unloaded from memory when they are not running, so the slowness probably has to do with the program using up lots of your system meory, thus causing you to go to swap.

In the new version of the client you can specify how much memory ot indicate, thus limiting the program to using routines that do not take up much memory.

For someone talking intelligibly, you make some foolish comments....

Oh, I get it! You're playing dress-up again! :laugh:

 

[Swissy]

Ha!
A new all time best (really, worst!) score!!

← click

we decided to go for it, after a hostage ran into the line of fire and was wasted. Anyone wanting a challenge, top this (bad) score! Hahahahahaha... of course large Captain and Coke's didn't help (for me... my partner downed a bunch of vino...)

gamers really need to check this out... the Mittelplate Alpha 1.2 lever is the best I've played yet- and it's not an 'official' map. Amazing what modders do these days!

 

[emodx]

It's either cigars or gadgets for me, and I am taking the cigars. LOL, some of ya'll need to get a life outside of the house. LOL

My internet machine is a Gateway:
P4 1.8
256MB RAM
Adaptec 29160 Ultra 160 SCSI Card
WD 7200 RPM Ultra 160 4gig HD with the OS and Virus loaded
IBM 10K RPM Ultra 160 17gig HD for applications and files
SB Live
Radeon VE agp4x 64MB
17 inch HP Pavilion monitor

I have another 18 gig 10K hard drive I am going to plug in and load the OS onto to load things up a little quicker. For xmas I am going to max out the RAM. Perfect for cigar pass, running most office apps, and surfing for porn. I do have a Wingman joystick I am going to hook up once I feel like playing games again.
