Your PC

[MiTHRANDiR]

So, what kind of a PC do you have? And do you use it for playing games? I'm putting together a PC like this at the end of this summer, after earning the money for it:

-AMD Athlon64 5000+ x2 (dual core )

-nVidia 7950GX2 (Fastest graphics card on the market ATM )

- Thermaltake Armor -case

It's gonna be awesome ;D Can't wait.

That sounds quite awesome indeed. Superb to say the least.
I'm running an old skool Pentium III at 1GHZ and 640MB SDRAM and an ATI 9600 with 128RAM, and it does the trick for me. Haven't been able to enjoy the newest games though, but I'm waiting on Vista (or Vista capable PC's - directx 10 and stuff, new intel proccessors,etc) to arrive and then I'll go for that major upgrade

I do play some games at the moment though, old skool just like my pc : "Medal of Honour: Allied Assault" (first person shooter) and "World Rally Championship 2000" (still my favorite rally game, like it better then collin mc rae 2.0 or 2005 (or was it 2006?)) are installed on my system and I play that first one rather regulary lately.
"neighbours from hell" is installed too, but havent played that in a little while.

My current PC isn't really good for gaming either ;D I just haven't had the money to upgrade. Now that I got work for the whole summer I can get a kickass PC once and for all My current one I got from a friend for 100€ and it's been well worth that, runs old skool games well

I have a white one!

And I use it to play adventures occasionally.

Hey - I have that kind of computer too! ;D I used to play "The Sims", it was fun cause you could buy all the pretty furniture you've ever dreamed of. I wish there was a "money cheat code" for real life too... ;D

Ah! ;D How very informative

Actually... that's all I know about it! I'm just happy when it's functioning - no questions asked. One of my brothers updates it once or twice a year... adds things or exchanges stuff... I just enjoy it. ;D

I've got some refitted emachines load...It's not supposed to play games but I play Sims 2, Diablo 2 EXP, Starcraft EXP, and sometimes Age of Empires...It needs a graphic disk or whatever to play most games. (2.70 GHz,256 MB)

I have a white one too, it's called a Mac, and I play Snood.
I also have a grey one... it's called a VAIO, and it collects dust... because HELLO... I HAVE A MAC!!!

You guys seem to know so much about your computers ;D

[wesh]

lol yeah, so it sounds. I liked "graphic disk" the most
I'd like one of those now iMacs, which can run both windows and OS X. Sounds awesome to me. If it works well (by work well i mean: it should work as easy and normally as installing linux or win 98 and winxp on same pc)

Hint: if your curious about your system specifications, but you don't quite know how, here's a way (for windows computers):
(btw if it doesnt react, then you don't have directx installed and forget about it then.

• press Start
  
• Select 'Run'
  
• Type in that white box: dxdiag
  
• a window pops up with your specs; most interesting stuff on that tab: the info next to 'Processor' and 'Memory'
  
• You'll notice that window has multiple tabs; if you select 'Screen' (or something like that, I have it in Dutch so i translated. Mith help me out?) you'll see what kind of graphic card you have, next to 'chip type' and how much memory it has, next to 'total memory'

As far as I know, getting windows running on them isn't all that simple (?) Well that's the image I got

And LOL @ Graphic disk

[wesh]

Ah, I'm afraid your right.

Learning to knit is my top priority at the present stage of my life. It's very time consuming...

Maybe I'll visit a "Your PC - more than just a really big typewriter" seminar soon afterwards. ;D

I don't get it - why would someone want to run windows on a Mac? ;D

And Casper - do you know how to crochet, I'd really like to learn!
