Rig Specs

Post by Midnight »

I noticed something was missing.
Pretty self explainitory.

Brand - Gateway
CPU - 2.4ghz
RAM - 512mb
HD Disk Space - 160gb
GFX Card - ATI 9550 256mb AGP
Audio Card - Sound Blaster Audigy w/EFX
Age - 5 years old

It's an aging pc and I'm buying a new one soon but I don't want to get ahead of everyone. When I buy a pc I buy it to last and I might end up really high end this time around.

By participating you expand the known range of at least irrlicht visiters which is a good start I'd say. Don't be shy if you have a lower end system life isn't always perfect and I've always been a step behind myself so I can relate really.

Desktop
3.06 ghz p4 processor
PCI nvidia gforce fx5200 with slight overclock
512 mb of ram
160 gb hard drive
integrated sound
age 4 years

laptop
dual core 1.66 pentium core duo
radeon x1400 mobility
1 gb ram
100 gb hard drive
integrated sound
1 year

overall i dont think either are too bad, my desktop is getting a little difficult from a gaming aspect but works fine for everything else, and even a little image editing and games on low settings. My laptop can run just about anything on the market, and probably do medium to high with most of them at 800x600, or 1024x768 but even still has its little issues

Well I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop, specs are like this

CPU - Intel Core Duo T2350 @ 1.86Ghz
RAM - 1024Mb
Video Card - Nvidia Geforce Go 7300, 128Mb (equivalent of a desktop Geforce 6600 I think)
Hard Drive - 110Gb
Not sure how old, but probably about 1 year

It's pretty good, but the video card is definately holding it back. I can play HL2 on highest settings w/o AA or AF at 800x600 with 30 frames as absolute minimum (Gmod 10 and CSS can have 100+ on some levels). I get about 200 frames on my Irrlicht project so far, and thats without optimising it :D

Desktop HP Pavilion(like 6 years old, except graphics card, which is about 4 old).
P4 2.53, running 1.8 due to MOBO setup. HP's problem.
RAM, 768MB
RADEON 9200, original was integrated Intel crap.
Cheap sound
nothing else special.

Notebook, HP as well(a couple months old. Came with Vista.
1.6 Core2Duo.
2Gig RAM
NVidia 7600GO, not sure what desktop equivelent would be.
Widescreen and somewhat nice sound
Separate 10Key.
This for me is like awesome machine because it isn't "next gen", but it is like upper current gen, know what I mean?? I would have gotten NVidia 8800 in it, but I wouldn't find anyone who could fit it. Not even alienware had it and I haven't checked, but I still think they can't do it just yet. Oh well.

@ midnight:

a good graphics card might be a newegg nvidia 8800gts which you can get for around 200.

oh, add to that a couple gig-ram sticks for 30 apiece and you have yourself a machine

If you have the money, go for an Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX (I think there's an 8800 Ultra now, 768Mb like the GTX, but everything else is faster :D). Have a look at anything GeForce 7 series too, they're still pretty damn good and probably more affordable

Damn spintz :shock:



Dont laugh at mine:

I got an AMD 2000+ Athelon with 256 mb of ram.

The motherboard FBS is currently set at 266mhz because thats the highest the processor can support even tho the motherboard can do 333 and the ram 400.

40 gig hard drive.
Radeon 9200 128mb video card.
floppy, dvd, cdwriter... lol.

My analogy is that if I can make it work on a really shitty system, then it will work pretty much everywhere. Thats not true at all but its my excuse for not splashing out on an expensive new system lol.

For the laptop, which i am a little more proud of:

Athlon Turion 64bit
Radeon 200m integrated graphics chip.
60 gig harddrive.
DVD Writer.

Currently running Windows XP and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 64-bit edition (Woo for lack of i386 support lol..I feel special :P )

Cheers

Intel Core 2 Duo 1,8GHz (passive cooling, )
1GB 800Mhz DDR2 (three slots yet free, with support to 8GB 800mhz)
Seagte 250 GB SATA 2
ATI Radeon X 1650 Pro 256 MB DDR3 (passive cooling)

I am gonna fill the three remaining slots wtih 1GB and 2x 2GB to my other channel. Then I will purchase passive voltage source (now i have 350W active), but I dont understnad why theese are 250 dolars at least :roll: . I will also maybe tact up my CPU :wink: for it is 52 celzius when having worked at 100% for 5 minutes . I also have two PCI 32 bit slots free, ready for best sound a phys cards :wink: . Then I will just wait what game will make me buy newer GPU ....
