Posted by Khorney @ 17:56 CST, 7 January 2007 - iMsg

AMD2 athlon 64 dual core 4200+ 2.21 ghz
1gb DDR2 Ram
GF7950 GT
Seagate 7200 RPM 320gb HDD

I suppose it could be worth getting 1gb more of ram later on though, this should be sufficient for the time being =)

Lets hope this machine doesnt break down now. It's a pain as it is installing everything again.
Btw, Zimmerman, I feel your pain, all my old mp3's are lost :((((

Great minds think alike :). I suppose i should get 1gb more ram later though like I said, but there is no hurry =)

if you are planning on trying Supreme Commander or Gothic 3 you better get that ram now. Otherwise you can wait.

Leave Gothic 3 - I made the mistake of buying it .. based on that I loved Gothic 2

It sill runs stuttery, has bugs, AI glitches etc , despite 3 or is it 4? patches now ...

Very disappointing ...

Haven't played it myself but my roommate loves it, but he has completed 1 and 2 several times, so hardly an objective opinion.

each to their own but I'd take a look at the Gothic3 forums - there are a lot of people having issues with the game ...

supersexyleetmegaruler - Reply to #17

it was funny on mine. i could have rescued it with a special program, then i had to restart, scandisk ran a quick auto check over it and EVERYTHING WAS FUCKING GONE
i tried several other programs after that, but they couldnt find any files anymore, only useless data crap. scandisk fucked it up seriously. 150gb of important data lost

i didnt try this one, but i tried 2 or 3 that would scan raw data for certain file formats (txt, mp3, avi, ...). scandisk made crap out of all files/data on that drive. no chance anymore

Nice man :) Christmas present for self? ^^ I did that, should be getting it today... Hoping there's a nice "omgz come pick it up"-letter when I go home on lunch :D

Amidst all teh leetz0r specs the thing I'm maybe the most excited about it the x-fi (fat ed)... First soundcard in years :D nForce3 onboard sound can kiiiiss myyy A!

Anyway yeah, a gig of RAM more luckily isn't very expensive. I heard brand doesn't really matter much anymore? "Back in the days" (which maybe wasn't that long ago but hey in the world of computers...) it was kinda picky to have something proven but nowadays I've heard both in stores and less dodgy people that it's not a big deal anymore.

Not a bad system but I can't really see the point of buying AMD atm.

AMD> intel imo!

Intel are still stuck in the old ways of simply making processors with lots of hz, instead of making GOOD processors =)

Your living in the past mate. Intel are whooping AMD at the moment. Chips use less power, easily overclock them, cheap :>

Khorney - Reply to #33

The last hardware reviews I read said otherwise. On toms hardware for example it showed that the AMD chips for example did better use of DDR2 Rams than intel.
One has to remember though that the AMD chips nowadays are manifactured by intel as, so one has to wonder how much difference there is =).
