just look at it its awesome also its new so i didnt have enough stuff to start making it lag was playing half life2 to at 60 fps just look at the control panal at cpu usage and memory usage they where still low

lol, That's pretty sexy.

What are the specs like? :o

Yeah, so I can run at least 3 instances of HL2. HL2 isn't that amazing if you just have it sitting at menu like I am guessing yours is.

If you really want to load your computer, get Peazip (theres a tut somewhere) and compress like a 5 gig file on compression level 8. I say your computer can't handle it and gives you a memory error.


Not bad though, but not the greatest. What is it? An off the shelf?

Specs pl0x.

yea, specs, pl0x.

Well, tons of windows doesn't exactly mean that ur computer is great. Now, playing half-life @ 60fps, that's great :D

Btw, I hate vista… lol

Vista degrades the computer by 90% so you better produce some impressive ones :p

Edit: How much did it cost? Did you build it?

You mean 8800GTS, not GTX?

amd athalon x2 6000+ cpu
evga geforce 8800gtx 320 mb of ram 96 stream prosesors
4 gigs of low latency pc6400 ram
m2n sli ready asus motherboard with nvidia chip set
and 8 fan
ill get a pic of all of them open ill jut have to turn off full screen
also will 7zip compression work

stupid vista, stupid microsoft, they even made halo2 for the vista so people would buy their crappy windows.
What would we do if we didnt have people uploading torrents with halo for the xp! wed need supercomputers to get those kinda specs
Ive played hl2 on a good computer i owned half way around the world, i really liked that game *sigh* i cant play it no more

holy crap that must have cost a lot!!!1

Thats some pretty nice specs but why did you put windows vista on that stuff could work so much better in xp.

$1700 saved like $500 by building it myself also its not just because of halo 2 its also for all dx 10 games mostly crysis
o and everything is open now also could get saur in windowed so i have chess instead

What do you guys think…I'm building a new computer and I'm not sure if I should get an AMD or an intel quad core. Any ideas?

Intel all the way. AMD is cheaper though.

amd pwns intel like Michel Jackson does a little boy. also heres my peazip thing it work lol i pwn whoever said i couldnt do it. but thank it was a nice little burn in for my comp. the memory want a problem but it was eating up my possessor for about 45 mins

Mr.Klean, your waffles are on fire! :p

Yeah, so I can run at least 3 instances of HL2

Hmm,

I say your computer can't handle it and gives you a memory error.

Since you know errors so good, what about the one when you try to use 3 instances of steam same time? And I'm pretty sure that you're not playing 3 half-lifes same time.

Wanna admit that you're a bad, bad cook? (hint to waffles)

EDIT: lmao

I meant my specs compared to what the HL2.exe process is taking up on his computer.

See his specs are saying HL2 takes 350,000k of RAM. With my computer I can run around 3 instances sitting at menu because it doesn't take much CPU power. I am not saying its possible to run HL2 in 3 instances but I am saying just what HL2 takes in resources I can run 3 of them.


EDIT: You should of got the BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2 instead of the 8800 GTS just because I want to see what it can run. 768mb GDDR3, wow. And then you should of ran two of them SLI, I think I would pass out from the greatness.

Actually, AMD did pwn Intel, but Intel just started pwning AMD :D

Wanna trade?

Hell that computer beats mine by far!

dude that is sweet

especially the SLI ready board… i wanted that one

btw i want everyones Guild Wars Nightfall name

so its like 2200 if you don't build it yourself?
i never run enough stuff to make that purchase justifiable.

Don't you play ub3r 1337 games??? :D

Nah, but its amazingly expensive to buy it from a retailer. Making a great computer is better if you mkae it yourself.

amd athalon x2 6000+ cpu -_-
evga geforce 8800gtx 320 mb of ram 96 stream prosesors <3 evga
4 gigs of low latency pc6400 ram 4 x 1gig?

and 8 fan :p Must sound like a jet!

Sure sounds like a nice pc, though I think you should have gone with watercooling.

PS: What brand RAM, and how much was the mobo?
