What are your PC system specs? - Ver.1

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

What are your PC system specs? - Ver.1

Post by Woo Elephant Yeah »

Intel Xeon 2.8GHz
Galaxy Glacier GeForce 6800 (128MB)
2GB PC2100 DDR RAM
200GB IDE & 37GB SCSI

21" Iiyama Monitor

I've only just recently bought the 6800, and even though it's 128 not 256, with 2GB of memory, it makes little difference, and it kicks pretty much everything I throw at its ass!

What systems do you use, and are you going to be upgrading anything soon due to gaming?

AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+
256mb ATI Radeon 9600
512mb DDR RAM (soon to be 1gb when student loan arrives)
120GB Seagate HDD (couldn't tell you rpm though)

And i can tell you now, the 64bit processor outclasses the 3ghz Pentium4s by a long shot.

it's amazing how much difference it makes in 32bit applications (i.e tattyshop opens instantly, ptretty much)

Is that a 128 or 256 card StickFigureNinja?

To be honest, the only thing I can't do so far is have Far Cry on Ultra High, other than that, I've found the 6800 128MB to be fantastic

128, I did plenty of research on it (i.e. trawling through Tom's Hardware) and apparently the performance difference between 128s and 256s arn't that big.

It will never catch on :roll:

Question for all of you :

My motherboard can support Dual Xeon processors, so will I need the other one to be exactly the same FSB & Speed in order for it to work properly in Windows XP Pro?

I believe so yes, but from what I've read unless you have software specifically written to take advantage of dual processors, the improvement you'll see gerenally wont be worth it. Though that's just one sites opinion.
