Whats your system specs?

Windows 7 Professional x64
AMD Phenom II X4 B55 @ 3.8Ghz [Stable, heh]
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 @ 705Mhz [Really wanted to get this up to 800Mhz]
Samsung F2 1TB
Two Maxtor 250GB Drives
ATI Radeon HD 5670 [ATI Overdrive is broken atm, so at stock speeds]

You?

Lets see..... the newer "speedy" stuff in the box:

Windows 7 Pro 32 bit (no need for over 4 gigs of ram atm)
Asus P7P55D Pro Main board (w/SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0)
Intel i-5 (Lynnfield architecture) quad core at 2.8 GHz (stable overclock to 3.4 so far, but left at stock speeds 99% of the time)
G.SKILL Ripjaw series 2 X 2 Gig RAM (with heat spreaders, DDR3, running at 1600)


The rest of the system is salvaged from my older computer, and I am planning on upgrading these components as soon as possible:

Saphire Radeon 4670 video card
Seagate 500 Gig hard drive
Sony 22x DVD burner (currently an IDE, want a SATA drive when true 22-24X media becomes common place)
Antec 400 W "eco" power supply (thought I would need to upgrade this to support the newer mobo/processor, but so far its working fine, so i will probably just keep it till it dies)

Forget to mention it was 4 gigs of RAM I had, made the mistake of buying the 1333 instead of the pre-overclocked 1600 for a couple of quid more [do'h].

True with the powersupply to, can't remember the brand name but it had a good write-up, had it for 3 years now and apparently runs at 700w. Might consider replacing it soon.

My current video card is one of the best out there for "frames/sec per watt".... its so low powered it doesn't require a separate power connection, it gets all its power from the PCIe bus. If i upgrade this to a newer more power hungry card, the power supply might have to be upgraded. Till then, I'm gonna keep it.

Also, forgot to mention, even with that 3 year old video card.... with the new speedy core components in the box I can run any game I have, including Crysis, at full 1080p on my 22" LCD monitor, all eye candy turned on, with no frame rate issues. So for now the card and PS unit is fine. Gonna concentrate on getting a bigger hard drive first.

Was kinda waiting on a true SATA 3 (6Gb/sec) to come out and be priced reasonably low, but there are not a lot to choose from right now, and the ones that are on the market are not living up to the SATA 3 potential. I definitely want a solid state drive at some point, but not at the price-per-Gig they are at right now. I would much rather have storage over speed at this juncture.

Meh lovely rig.

3.00gb of some shitty ram (I dont know what brand cuz it was ready made of the shelf)
Windows 7 Home premium 32 bit
Intel HD graph card

My pc is the best in the world (sarcasm)

Sounds like a laptop? Theres a GMA booster in the section that might work with your card. Make sure you have a GMA series and read up up on it first.

I run a MacBook (Mac FTW!!!) (a laptop of course) with 2gb memory, Intel core 2 duo with 1.83ghz, Mac OSX 10.6.6
Not great, but I love the computer.

Yes broon its a laptop advent vernionia i think my card is gma it just says intel hd in the propiteies bit so I dnt know if you could provide i link to the booster that would be awesome

Its on there under 'GMA Booster', I used it for my Netbook and works fine

Mostly buy things that give you a good bang for your buck, I think that rig cost under $500 altogether.

My PC was decent when it was bought... in 2004...

XP - Home Edition
512MB Ram
AMD Semptron 2800+ (2.0ghz Core)
GeForce FX 5900XT
250GB HD(Though in reality 232GB... hate how they always give you false figures.. you can never use all 250GB due to the file index thing. So they should stop skewing the figures)

When i have saved up some more money im thinking of getting something like This but with the memory increased to 8GB and graphics card upgraded to a GTS450. Would be a slight improvement to my current rig.

Stucuk, don't waste your money with 8 gigs of ram. Everyone and their brother thinks the more ram you put into a system, the faster it gets. It doesn't work that way. Once you have enough ram to run everything you normally open, plus some for system overhead, then any extra ram above that is wasted space. The sweet spot right now is 4 gigs. Save that extra hundred dollars the additional 4 gigs will cost and put it towards what really speeds up a system; the processor/motherboard combo. A fast quad core processor using the latest architecture on an up-to-date motherboard that can handle the higher data bus speeds... thats what will really speed up the system. You can always go back and add 2 more sticks of ram later if you find you have a genuine need for it.

Meh generic shop bought PC for convinience when pregnant and other PC broke
