1 edit | reply to dragon I'm still saving up and collecting items to build a really decent box. Maybe after the first of the year. I have just done a few upgrades to my gaming rig (other than upgrading my fileserver from 80GB to 160GB RAID1 and from Win2k Pro to Win2k Server):
FozzieBear
Stock Dell Dimension 4400 WinXP Pro SP1 (last one I haven't put SP2 on yet) Intel P4 1.6 GHz ADDED 1GB Crucial PC3200 (upgrade from 512MB) 40GB IBM 7200rpm 20GB Western Digital 7200rpm StarLogic 16x DVD-ROM ADDED PNY NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256MB (w00t!) Compaq QVision 210 21" CRT
Nothin' special. It's still a little underpowered (processor-wise) but runs Far Cry, SW:BF and Doom3 well enough. When I build my new box I'll transfer the 6800 GT over to it, and put the Radeon 9000 Pro back in this one. -- Brain: "Promise me something, Pinky. Never breed."
No matter where you go, there you are. |
