Are these spec's good?

[Neave]

lol =]... then buy the cheaper 9 Series thats the same price as the best 8 series you can afford

[VMNT]

And make sure you get a motherboard that will last for "yonks".


Well, that's not gonna be too long as far as computer modding goes, but oh well..

[Gird3r]

Some of us wont be able to afford a 9 series -_- at leaste not straight away.
anyway heres my specs;
CPU: Amd Athlon 64 X2 6000+
GPU: Nvidia Gefore 8600GT
Memory: 2 X 1GB
Motherboard: AMD Am2 Gigabyte Sli S4
HDD: SATA 320gb

Make sure that your motherboard have a high FSB for good prestanda, to low and it will end in a slowdown for your computer. I reccomend 1333 Mhz FSB if you arent gonna do something wich takes enormous prestanda.

My External is a 12500 RPM 320GB
Thats why i can play games from it

Not if it's USB (and it probably is: then I suggest you install your games on a internal hard disk for much better performance)

[Watti]

Doug its USB... BUT...

i play games with out it lagging from the External.. ... So .. Considering its 12500 RPM..
umm ittl work ... BTW Doug i got 2 Internals.. One 7000(C:/) and one i think its 5200 RPM(backup)

So yea

[DougR]

USB 2.0 transfer speed is still horrible compared to an internal IDE/SATA connection: using an internal (or eSATA) will result in better performance.

[martenest]

Get 512MB 8800GT instead, and make sure it's a newer model with a bigger fan (unless you enjoy a 30dB noise)

And costs double as much

They dotn even exist... 12500 RPM drives... expescially for USB, that would require much much way more power then a USB cable can safley use

[DougR]

USB hard disks (containing a physically spinning device) use an external power source instead of the USB cable

[Neave]

Ok.. even at that thres no HDD at 12,500 RPM. highest for any extrernal drive is 7200, Internal 10,000

Vista Has its flaws.. but it is good for Family usage Word and so on.. not for Gaming

Sorry.. i replied like very slow :P


Umm... Vista is better for gaming then XP.. just bad at everything else compared to XP..

Although it requires better hardware to run games at the same settings as XP...?

[Neave]

Its because Vista uses DX10, XP is DX9

[Fatboy_Rob]

And why do you think i stick with vista?

All you XP people will be in the past D:
i will be tasting the candy AND seeing it too (gameplay and DX10 GFx)
