Got a 8800 ultra something or other 4 gigs of that ram crap, some xi-fi sound thang, and a dual 3.0 spinny thingy.

I have had no hassles so far, I havent even had the system lock up or freeze yet. I havent played many games yet but bioshock, stalker and company of heros work great. I am planning on getting my hands on a few more soon but I am having a blast with the system.

BTW I am using the latest drivers from the net, not the CDs that come with it.

Alright, thanks for the information. What do you mean by having a blast with your system? Ain't it performing well then?"

Mine's one of those computer's you'd call a piece of crap.

WD 500GB 7200RPM HDD
WD 350GB 7200RPM HDD
2GB Corsair DDR2 RAM

 I recently got rid of my Desktop as it wasn't practical for room space/portablility for University. I replaced it with an Advent 4211/MSI Wind, but made a couple of additions/modifications:

• Intel Atom Processor -- Clocks to 1.9 ghz
• Mobile Intel(R) 945 64 MB Graphics -- The bane of this otherwise awesome UMPC!
• 320GB 7200RPM HDD
• 2GB RAM
• Realtek HD Audio output
• Creative SoundBlaster Connect USB Sound Card for 5.1 Support
• 10" display @ 1024x600 resolution, widescreen. -- Awesomely clear display for the size of the UMPC and totally ideal. 

• HDMI Out to a 24" HDTV -- Perfect for watching films, and gaming old school - the machine does run some great games (HL2 is about as recent as I can get it).

By.. like.. Alienware-esq Desktop standards, it's not great, but when you consider the fact that this thing is 260 x 180 x 19-31.5mm, its a great machine that fits all my needs =]."

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Video Card: ATI Radeon X300
Hard Drive: SATA, Approx 250GB
Memory: 3GB DDR
OS: Vista Ultimate 64 bit (also have XP home and Kubuntu installed)

Not exactly the most powerful hardware, but it still plugs away. Most modern games run fine if I tone down the settings, and graphics aren't that important to me. I'd like to build my own PC at some point, but money is an issue.

• Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 2.4Ghz running at 3.2Ghz
• 2 gigs of Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066Mhz
• Asus Geforce 8800GTS 512 EN
• Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
• iiyama 22" monitor
• Two SATA 2 Hard Drives, each 500 gig (Western Digital)
• Vista Home Premium 32 bit (thinking of switching to 64)

""Everyone has a Samsung monitor, says enough about that brand though! ;)"

Yep, it's really good. Like, really really good. I would definitely buy another.

I also hear great things about Dell and Sony, but Sony is goddamn expensive."

Intel E2180 @ 2.0GHz
ATi 3850 256MB
2GB DDR2
A lovely onboard sound card.
One 150GB SATA hard drive, one 80GB IDE hard drive.
Gigabyte P35-DS3R

I would overclock the processor but the last time I tried the computer wouldn't boot and it reset the bios. Whoops.

Anyone that has vista should really have 4 gigs of ram it really helps,  Vista itself needs 2 gigs.

CPU
Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 2.4Ghz overclocked to 3.5

Memory
4 gigs of Corsair Dominator ddr3

Video card

4 GB is generally unnecessary because most OSs can't even recognize more than 3.2 of it

I just wrote a blip in my blog about my new laptop that just arrived today.

Dell Studio 17

Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.5GHz/800MHz FSB/6MB cache)

Yeah exactly, but I'll stick with Samsung for now. They never dissapointed me in monitors, their price/performance seemed to be the best with the SyncMaster series!

That's a decent machine, is it factory made or is it your own customization? Since it says Dell I'd think the first.

I think for most of us money is an issue, while 99% are still students they spent their money on others things. And buying a superior gaming machine out of the blue, hits hard in your wallet.

Nice system, but I think the processor can be clocked higher due to 1066MHz of memory. :)"

Haha, I know the problem when you talk about components not fitting into your case! ;)

Well, try a Scythe Mugen or Scythe Orochi, both have superior cooling performance and are rather small than big.

I have 1 ram, running on a treadmill powering my computer. I also don't have a mouse as it was eaten by the ram. Also, the disc tray came out so now I just use it as a cup holder.

my comp is outdated thats all you need to know, now donate me some up to date parts dammit.
