    Best gaming PC? Budget and High-End.

    Actually the AMD costs less: if its not a 3200+. Don't worry, I've read all the benchmarks and am going for the P4 3.0ghz 800fsb. Apparently I have more cast than I though because it seems my mom wants to chip in for some reason. **** it, I'm just buying an Alienware. Thanks guys, and no I...

    nVidia GF FX 5900 Ultra

    Yeah, same with me - I only use one slot. I also hear its kinda noisy though, but when I put it in my new Alienware this summer, I don't think it should be too bad. :cheese:

    nVidia GF FX 5900 Ultra

    Thank God, nVidia finally made up for some of their mistakes of the 5800, altough that "covering AGP + 1 PCI" slot thing doesn't sound too appealing. http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030512/index.html

    Best gaming PC? Budget and High-End.

    Hey guys. I'm on a tight budget and I'm looking to get a new gaming computer for HL2. I can afford about $1750 and I don't need a monitor, speakers, keyboard, or mouse (I have a MX500 + Steelpad baby!) I'm looking to buy a professionally built/optimized for gaming PC. To let the price down a...

    Worried about my computer running HL2

    I'm sorry Furby, I must have been misinformed about the demo computer at E3. But it does make sense that they would use a top of the line computer. :bounce:

    Worried about my computer running HL2

    Actually the best price to find stuff for good prices on the internet is Pricewatch.com (suprisingly). I found this mobo/cpu combo on there site: Asus A7V8X nVidia nForce2 8x AGP USB2.0 Motherboard AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (2.083Ghz) Socket A OEM Copperbase Thermaltake Volcano Fan+Heatsink 1yr...

    Worried about my computer running HL2

    Yes but as Hammer stated before, that same scalable engine wont give you the eye-popping graphics shown at E3 that we are all drooling over. The computer used at E3 was actually a Dell 2ghz (AMD or Intel, cant remember) using the GF4 Ti4600. Which is why I intend to upgrade my piece of sh*t...

    Worried about my computer running HL2

    That's the problem: I have this crappy old mobo (Asus A7V) that wont support anything higher than a 1.4 ghz thunderbird, and doesnt support DDR. So my question to you I guess is, if I get a new motherboard (and in turn I would need to get DDR ram and a new case/power supply) - how messed up...

    Worried about my computer running HL2

    I don't know about any of you guys, but I'm running a fairly low end system. While its not shit, it doesn't contain the latest and greatest in hardware. I'm going to upgrade it as much as I can this summer to prep for HL2, but I'm worried about how well my system will run on it, since it runs a...
