Hello Gentlemen (and sexy sexy Ladypersons)

[Captain Beard]

Recall the rig I was building? I went on and upgraded it to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ running at 2.6 GHz with an x1650 card. If Intel beats this, I don't need Intel, this shit is a goddamned beast. Pictures tomorrow maybe.

Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6GHz with 2MB L2 cache
Socket AM2 board with nForce 570
2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 PC6400 (800mhz) RAM
600w PSU with modular cables
640GB (2 320GB) SATA PMR Hard Drives
20x DVD writer
18x DVD Writer
ATI Radeon x1650
19" Hanns-G HW191D Widescreen monitor
CMI8788+ audio chip (bluegear b-inspirer) HTPC quality card
Logitech Z-5500 THX certified 5.1 505W system
Logitech G15 gaming board
MS Lasermouse 6000
Case: Thermaltake matrix VX with 2 120mm fans, it's a goddamned hurricane in there.

What do YOU have?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

640GB (2 320GB) SATA PMR HDDs

Is that the RAM captain?

 

[Captain Beard]

Oh, forgot. 2Gb DDR2 PC6400 (800mhz) Corsair. I'll add it.

And PMR is Perpendicular Magnetic Recording.

 

[El Stormo]

I have an AMD Athlon 3800+, which is getting a bit antiquated.

 

[Captain Beard]

3800? Single or dual core? My parents have one (single core) and it runs fine for them... maybe more memory?

 

[El Stormo]

Single core. And sure it runs fine, but the newer games tend to be a bit choppy when played on max settings.

 

[Captain Beard]

Integrated video? If so, that would be why.

 

[El Stormo]

Nope, a separate GeForce 7800 GT.

 

[Captain Beard]

7800?! Why the hell does it chop?!

Seriously, that's a weird one to me. How much memory?

(And what games?)

 

[El Stormo]

1Gig memory, and I'm talking really new games.

 

[derek]

I'd upgrade the RAM to 2GB, it's insane how much RAM affects this shit. Other than that I'm suprised you're having problems.

 

[azal]

I'd like to point out the lack of ladypersons in this thread.

What do YOU have?

I have computer envy.

 

[azal]

i don't know what any of this means, I'm only on the computer at work.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

I just took this picture:

My Personal computer owns you.

 

[El Stormo]

Not "problems" per se, just some games that, when settings are completely maxed out, run a bit choppy.

 

[Captain Beard]

Well you too can have one for the low price of $1300 Necro. This thing cost me 30 hours of my life and that. Worth it though.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Would be nice. But a new car takes precedent.
