Hehehe, I pity all you mac users and your non-upgradeable systems. So sad. Basically I am taking this reasonably nice PC I just got, and over time turning it into my dream gaming rig. Starting with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...130038&ref=lmcd To see what this can do, go to IGN, search for crysis, then watch the videos. It is amazing, it runs directx 10, and 9. It is a monster running directx 9 games, highest settings and still perfect frame rates. (I will have pretty graphics with the current CPU, once I buy a dual core and install that I will have VERY pretty graphics.) This thing is insane. XP I am so happy. I was gonna buy a flat screen monitor (about 20 bucks less) but I saw this and I was like "you know, a flat screen with a crap graphics card will still look like crap. An ok monitor with an insane card will look pretty nice." So thats how I decided. I am also stealing the ram we have in this PC, as soon as my dad gets the new one, to bring the ram up to 1.268 gigs. (I think.) So basically, I will have a very nice PC all for...lesse....free monitor.....75 dollar 2.4 gighertz PC....270 dollar (after rebate) graphics card..... free ram.....woot. I am working for my parents to raise money for all of this (we already purchased the card and the PC.) Currently I am working to get enough money to buy this: http://www.pricegrabber.com/rating_getprod...d_type=masterid So, about 160 dollars. I can do that. I already made enough for the graphics card with about a months work. So yeah, drizzt, there is a new computer on the block, and it wants to take yours down. Be afraid, very afraid. All of this for the low price of 510 dollars....holly craps. If I wanted a 3 gigahertz dual core PC, with that graphics card, and that ram, and I bought it pre-fabricated that would run me....around 1,000 dollars. Heheh, I'm saving a crapload of money. |

I have... 1.3k-1.6k saved... And I'm not going to spend it on a computer... I have better things to save up for like College or a Car. |

XP, I dunno, condisidering what I can run on the intergrated chip in my moms laptop (a few recent games) this should last a while. This can do games better then Gears of War easily, and graphics really aren't going to make any major leaps for at least a few years after directx 10. So...yeah, game makers are starting to think they have almost reached their peak, its minor jumps from here. Which is why I'm investing now, also I want to be able to play all these new games, and its not going to die so fast. It won't be as fast as some, but as long as it can run new games, even if in a few years I have to turn a few things down, I don't mind. I just want to actually be able to play them. XP I am running A dual boot with linux (ubuntu) and windows. I have no thoughts of college yet. I am not gonna spend much on a car, I don't place faith in our gas supply. XP Maybe I'll use my dad's current one. Once he gets a new one. To get all this I am working for my parents, and babysitting. (Such a meh job, unless the kids play videogames, then its ok.) Plus whatever I have left I'll just spend on.... I dunno.....stuff. |

The sexyness of the mac machine doth comenceth. 2 4-core 3ghz Intel Xeon processors (8 processors, each running at 3 ghz) 16 GB of ram (8 strips of 2 giggers) 4 (count 'em) 750 gig hard drives (that's 3 terabytes of hard-drive space) A NVIDIA Quatro FX 4500 512MB, Stereo 3D (with 2• dual-link DVI, and costing more than a good computer) 2 30-inch Apple Cinema HD displays (each having a resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels) 2 16x Dual-Layer Superdrives Bluetooth 2.0 and Airport Extreme And the price comes to!!: (drumroll) $15,717.00 (Yow!!!) Eat your hear out :D. This machine would smash yours like a bug. |

That computer is...some kind of god. Minus the OS, I don't like the OS on it... I'd install Linux, and Windoze. |

To be, or not to be: that is the question. To die, to sleep; no more; and by a sleep to say we end. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause. That makes calamity of so long life, for who would bear the whips and scorns of time when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death, the undiscover'd country from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all... | |

im curious as to how u came across such a machine.... for the record, intel xeon's are not true quad core processors, theyre simply 2 dual core chips fused together........ true quad core would be 4 cores on the same chip (AMD barcelona), which means technically you have 4 dual core processors also.... pics or BS! |
