Yeah TrikTopz, nice red x you have there.

You purposely post wrong links, don't you?

[Sleazy P Martini]

*smacks Triktopz for lying* Again? What is wrong with you?

[Infernal Mass]

[Frozen]

Who cares if he's lying or not anyways. It's not like, going to affect our lives if he's lying. Besides, it'd be stupid and pointless to lie to people over the internet about things of this kind.

mine is a one and a half year-old PC built from a four year old one... I had to upgrade myself because my parents won't do it themselves (ouchies!).. anyways... it's currently a:

- 900Mhz Athlon*
- 512Mb 133mhz SDRAM*
- MSi Motherboard* (don't know too many details on this one... I've had about 3 MBs and they always screw-up.... but this one is pretty Red Colour!)
- GeForce2 Pro Golden Sample (thats "borrowed" - I only "own" an MX*)
- 60gb Seagate Barracuda*
- 16x DVD drive*
- 10/100 Network Card*
- Sounblaster Live! Value
- Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speakers
- 56k Modem (28k Connection - but people feel pretty stupid if I beat them Edit: And that actually happened on Thursday )
- 15" ADi Monitor
- Flatbed Scanner and hp Printer

(all * thingys are the stuff I've brought to replace the parts that either stopped working, or didn't perform well)
Its all aging a bit now... but then I've stopped playing PC games as much... but I will get a GeForce4 4200 and a 1.8Ghz processor sometime... when money starts falling from the sky or somthing :/
Edit2: Processors are pretty cheap again... I think i'll try and get a XP2000 or above sometime...

[GTA3Fan]

I have a 500MHZ PC,192MB RAM, 10GIG,32XCDRW drive.

I have 2 iBooks a 300mhz,256mb ram "old" iBook
and a 500-G3,30GIG,DVD/CDRW combo,384MB ram. Oh baby I love that thing Later

This is the pic that TrikTopz was trying to post:

But, TrikTopz, that does not prove anything, you just posted a pic of the computer, not of your computer. It's not shown on your desk or anything.

[BlackThornn]

Now he's searching the net for a pic of one of those on somebody's desk.

I'm not so good at this point with hardware that I could build my own without it ending up wrong in many, many ways. I just got UT 2003 too and my supposed monster of a computer is running it at 20 fps with jaggarific graphics, so I think it's time to upgrade however I can.. but here they are anyway.

P4- 1.8 Ghz
512 MB RDRAM
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 Pro (..which is actually a 32 MB card. Bastards marked it as being a GeForce2 64MB one when I bought this.)
SoundMAX Integrated (argh! unupgradeable) Digital Audio
DVD/CD-RW
80 Gigabytes total HD
XP Home Edition

I think if you simply get a GeForce4 Ti model to replace your graphic card, you'd extrend the life of your PC considerabely....and are you sure the Sound Card is unupgradable? thats strange...

Well here are my specs...they suck, but I'm building a new system ASAP...I want an Alienware, but I live in Europe so that complicates matters ....


P3 1000MHz
128MB PC800 RDRAM *this is too little*
60GB TOTAL HD space
Sound Blaster 5.1 SC
GeForce3 Ti200 GC
CDRW 8x (suxzzz)
etc etc

NEW SYSTEM (Alienware or Self-Built)

P4 2.8GHz
512MB PC1066RDRAM
2 60GB in RAID
either ATi RADEON9700
DVD Drive
48x CD-RW
Hercules Game Theater XP Sound Card
etc etc

Thats a must: the most advanced game graphic wise on the PC at the mo is most certainly UT2003... It runs at nothing special on my GeForce 2 Pro (ouchies) - as for the sound card point, surely you have a free PCI slot? - I've got integrated audio (most people do) but I can still by-pass it with my live!...

I did hear that some company brought out an nforce-motherboard that has a Ti4200 intergrated.... perhaps you should consider getting that if you have enough money: It is Red as well! (Gainward or MSI ?)

[AudioBoxer]

I dont give a shit if you dont believe me, its cool, its just a damn computer!

Ya I also heard that GForce cards are now going to be called MCS Cards

Yeah, you shouldn't, 'cause no one is going to believe you anyway.

hey, Artist, i've noticed, why do you spell red with a capital R? as in Red?...just curious.

EDIT: I sincerely doubt there is a mobo on the market with 4200 integrated...its pointless. the whole thing about integrated graphics + sound is that it is cheap+low end, now, where would a GeForce4 Ti fit into this?

Maybe in like a year or too tho...

True... but NForce Motherboards are supposed to be designed for a different market to all other integrated ones, and not to be put into trashy pcs picked up from places like PCWorld...

Anyways... were both kind of right here ^_^ - the nforce has only got as far as a GF4 MX being integrated , but the leadtek one here comes with a 64mb Ti4200, at about £165 (not sure how many dollars or whatever), which is kinda good...

But no red chipset. and I have no idea why I spelt red with a capital ^_^ - I do stupid capitalisations in all my writing (which usually brings me down a grade or two...)

There is no way that your cable modem is running at 10 megs per second so just ask your step dad.

[Daedaelus]

Frozen, a cable modem can't run at 10mbits/second. It's just not possible, since cable is not a dedicated connection.

[Spank-A-Thon]

Lemme just say, with my new PC built and running, UT2003 in 1024x768, 32-bit colour and everything turned up to max runs like a dream!

Also ran 3D Mark 2001 SE against my system and got a score of 12, 431 which is pretty good consider my old system managed ~3,400...

Ahhh, money well spent!

[AudioBoxer]

I was wondering why UT2003 has to run at such a high level? I love the game though, I love thoughs fast paste action shooters! Thats one of the reasons I stick to Console gaming more than PC is cus PC you spend a fortune on the updates!
