PC specs.

[LeftEyeNine]

Zalmoxis, check out GeForce FX 5700s, but if you have money try 6600 GT video cards. Both cards have Nvidia chipsets. FX 5700 is a bottom-line for good cards, though. It will be obsolete in a year or so.

P4M 2Ghz
512 Mb RAM
64Mb GeForce4 440Go

Yeah. It's a laptop. Dell C840.

Three years old now - it's creaking at the seams (I think I have less than 2 Gbs free space).

[Lemur]

AMD Athlon XP -- don't remember what it was originally spec'd at, but it's OCed to 2 ghz.
Radeon 9700 pro
1 gig of no-name RAM
Nforce 2 mobo

Runs Rome pretty darn well, although it's getting creaky with the newer games. I'll probably replace the whole box next time an unexpected check shows up.

[Quid]

P4 2.8 Ghz
Radeon 9800 Pro
2 GB RAM
MICRO-STAR INC (MS-6758)
Some Hitachi Monitor (several years old)

Runs anything I can throw at it, really!

Quid, send me 512 MBs of your RAM or I'll go savage ! (Remember the matches?)

* Nvidia GeForce 2 64MB MX Gfx Card
* Intel Pentium 4 2GHz Processor
* Intel 533MHz 845E Max Chipset Motherboard
* 512MB DDR RAM
* 17" VDU
* 40GB HD
* 40x12x48x speed CD-RW drive, also DVD drive
* Good speakers, no earphone port though
* X th keyboard
* Trackball Mouse
* Ergonomic keyboard and mouse wrist support

It well over 3 years old now, might have to retire it soon. Also contains a reasonably sized dent on the left side of the tower, signs of old age

It can run games like Far Cry, Black and White 2 and Half-life 2 at max settings

Max settings?! What are those?!

[Fragony]

Screw pc! I got an imac G4 with 800mhz, it is faster then it sounds and looks so much sexier then a pc. And yes, MTW works on it

[Mikeus Caesar]

Max settings?! What are those?!

The highest graphics settings, other wise referred to as max settings. Any computer capable of running HL2 at max is generally considered as some sort of godly supercomputer.

Yeah. It's a laptop. Dell C840.

My boss have one just like you but with
1024MB RAM and 2,4GHz P4M CPU

I have a
Centrino tech. Pentium M 1,6 GHz
1024 MB RAM
32 MB ATI Radeon 9000
and it drives circles around my boss' machine to his despair(it excels on every benchmark we have).

My next machine (maybe sooner that I had thought ) will have the top CPU of the Centrino technology, 2048 MB RAM, at least 256 MB Graphic card etc.

One of these days I'll have to get myself a new stationary machine.
My old P4 1,8GHz, 512MB RAM, 64MB GeForce4 is an ancient relic from Australia.

2ghz P4, 768mb DDR 266 Ram, Radeon 9800se AiW. Pretty bad really. I used to be able to overclock it hugely, but all the heatsinks fell off. So now I can't without it swearing at me and being awkward.

I need a new machine. Just so much money... :(

That's better than my most recent computer was. ATI Radeon 9600, 512MB RAM, 1.8 AMD Athlon32 +2200 processor overclocked to 2.2. That computer had to go because 1, it was old, and 2, the overclocked processor was on the brink of collapse. It had an absolutely huge fan and heatsink, but kept giving up on hot summers days so that you couldn't use the computer.

Christmas is on the near horizon...

Mine's a little old (2+ years), I'm thinking about upgrading since it chunks running the newer games.

Athlon 2400+
Radeon 9700 with 256 Mbytes
512 Mbytes RAM
19" Sony Trinitron monitor and 17" Viewsonic flatscreen (two-headed monster)

A new AMD 64-bit machine (maybe dual core) with the almost-latest vid card is in my future, and I'll probably get my girl a laptop to a) keep her off my machine and b) allow me to play games while we're traveling.

[LeftEyeNine]

For those who have overclocked but had to step back even though they had installed heatsinks and fans : Did you try getting a new case with 4 fans ?

[Ice]

Dell 8400
-Pentium 4 processor 3.0 ghz hyper threading with 800 mhz fsb
- Good 160 gb Harddrive
-Sound Blaster Audigy 2
- Gigabyte, Radeon x800 xt (upgraded)
- 2 gigs of 533 mhz DDR2 ram (upgraded)
- Decent Cd/Dvd Drive
- 19 Inch UltraSharp Flat Panel Monitor
-Logtiech headset/mic
- Dell/logitech wireless keyboard and mouse

I think that's it ;).

Thanks Left, I was actually thinking of getting the GeForce 6800 XT. Maybe even replace my old AMD XP with a newer version, but after seeing the price, I think I'd rather just have the graphics card only.

[LeftEyeNine]

That's a very good one. Nice choice

[ah_dut]

I've got an old slightly creaky 3-4 year old system. However, it's not died and I have no money to spare and I rarely play anything mroe advanced then RTW (and at that rarely, I play medieval or chess games more)

2.4ghz P4
512 ram (2700)
80gb Maxtor something or other
5600XT
Some creaky old LCD (by a no name brand)

Does the job so who cares? I don't play all these new FPS games, I'm spending the time pumping iron these days

[Proletariat]

My new, budget oriented pc.

AMD Athlon64 3000+
