Hi I just purchased a new computer, seeing my friends lag through maps made me wonder if my machine will be able to handle HL2 and CS seeing that I have not yet purchase these games and would appreicate anyone's opinion, anyways
I configured a alienware pc, the Aura 7500 ALX to be percise:

AMD Athlon™ 64 FX-60 with HyperTransport and Dual Core Technology
(i plan on overclocking this to 3.0ghz)
Dual 512MB PCI-Express x16 ATI RADEON X1900 - XTX + CrossFire Edition
Alienware® ALX Active Liquid Cooling System
Alienware® 650 Watt ATX 2.0 Power Supply
Alienware® NVidia nForce™4 SLI™ X16 Motherboard
4GB Low Latency Dual Channel DDR SDRAM at 333MHz - 4 x 1024MB
150GB RAID1 (2 x 150GB Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s 10,000 RPM w/ NCQ & 32MB Cache)
Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi® Elite Pro High Definition 7.1 Audio with XRAM Technology

I think this would be enough to handle HDR and play at a rather high resolution yes?
 
nah, it won't be able to handle it.


-- attention whore. : o

No and even asking such a stupid question like this after paying $3-4,000 on a pc should give you the answer you need.

Err.. Why do you say 'no'?
 
Clearly he doesn't have enough to handle the POWER of HDR
 
HDR requires 2 AMD X2 4800+ Processors Connected in tandem and will require 4 ATI X1900XTX's in Crossfire not to mention overclocking everything by 1000% with the help of using a nitrogen cooling system.

Bow down to the power of HDR!
 
Hay guys I just bought a $5,000 computer can I run teh hDR?!?!
 
Idd, rather stupid question. Not to mention the fact he is being ripped off by alienware when one could build that system for considerably less.....

:|
 
No you can't. HDR doesn't support that much memory.
 
thanks for the replys, although they all seem to be negitive, I get the sarcasm and it seems that my machine will be more than enough.

You know, after spending thousands on such a PC like that, should be RATHER obvious you could run it will every little option avaliable. :rolleyes:

Your computer is pretty much top of the line (or damn close) right now. So one would think that it's pretty obvious that your computer will handle HDR quite well, because if it didn't, what would? Common sense really. This thread is just a brag thread anyway.
 
$3,000?

$4,000?

$5,000?

Not quite...

Have any of you checked the price of what he listed on Alienware's site? From what I can gather, they charge closer to $6,500-7,000 for that configuration.

Also, if you waste that much money on a computer without even knowing if it will play games released over a year ago... you probably shouldn't be thinking about overclocking.
 
Yea its around $7,000. I just finished my four year PLC course (Platoon Leader Class) and the Marine Corps is paying for the rest of my college tuition, so this leaves me with about
$50,000 and i got no where to spend it I bought a car already and this comp is the one of my dreams.
 
It runs fine on my X2 4600+ with 2GB Ram and 1x 7800 GTX, so I think you'll manage...
 
well if it didnt handle hdr you would have seriously riped and on anothernote im sure there is forums around desighned specificly for bragging. do your self a favour go and find one and im sure you wont get flamed by your own kind :)

If you're going to spend that much on a pre-built pc:

Awesome pc's. More exclusive than alienware. And imo more impressive. But that's down to personal preference. Just thought i'd present another possibility. Hope you will be happy with whatever you go with.

wow the voodoo pc does look more classy but at the same configuration, it costs $1000 more than the alienware.
 
The question is, Can HDR handle your computer?
 
Seriously **** this guy for being an attention whore. I hate how people post their specs and then ask if they can handle the game.

Guess what. I'm 1.2 ghz 1.5gb ddr with a geforce fx 5600 256mb ram

I CAN RUN HDR

I CAN RUN ALMOST EVERY GAME OUT THERE STILL.

There is a difference between running HDR at 1280x1024 with 80fps compared to 800x600 at 6 frames :p

You don't run the real HDR, you run bloom, there is a BIG difference, not to mention you're running DX8.1 not 9.
 
Why does anybody even take these threads seriously? It's an attention whoring thread, and nothing more.

And to the original poster, you got ripped off on all the shit you bought, and most of it is gonna be obsolete (new direct X etc.) before its limits are reached. Or in other words, you bought a computer that wont reach its limits in this generation of graphics for about 3-4 years, but youll have to replace half of it in 1-2 years anyway.

Have fun attention whoring somewhere else.

ehh, I got money to spend, once dx 10 comes out i'll just get a new voodoo.
 
When does DX10 come out, and what will be the differences?Im ean DX9 is way better than DX8, so will DX10 be far better than DX9 and make a revolution or just a desperate upgrade...?

Then I advise him to stick the whole computer in an envelope and sent it to me!

Or trade me...GeForce FX 5900 128 MB, 768 mb RAM, AMD Athlon XP 2500+? Swap?

You won't be able to play with crossfire enabled... get a crossfire motherboard, i don't know why Alienware would let you configure a computer lwith two ati cards on an nvidia sli config (thinks dell...). Also you might want to watch out for shit like that if you're actually going to buy this.
 
yes well spotted i dont think any amount of jiggery pokery will make crossfire cards work in a sli motherboard :)and i wouldnt bye nvidia cards instead crossfire is far more superior
 
You should not buy it, it won't run HDR. Dell 4700 will however.
