and?? it sure as hell beats all my friends pc's that they purchased from high street retailers (snigger) with intergrated GMA 950 graphics lol. The best system I've seen is my mate's XPS which has a Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6800, 4GB DDR2 800 RAM, 500GB SATA2/300 Hard Drive and a Geforce 7900GT 256MB Graphics Card and yet that is overkill for what he uses it for mine is perfect for playing GTR2 and Test Drive Unlimited On 1600X1400 On My Widescreen Display With All The Eye Candy On Just The Way I Likes It.

A 1600x1400 display should be called Spongebob SquareScreen. You should try for 1600x1200, if not 1680x1050, since you have a widescreen. It'll look a lot better. And you're right--that PC is quite a bit better than the majority of PCs being sold even today. Pentium III--Descendant of Intel Core.

"mine is perfect for playing GTR2 and Test Drive Unlimited On 1600X1400 On My Widescreen Display With All The Eye Candy On Just The Way I Likes It." You won't play many newer games on that resolution with all the "eye candy" switched on with only 1GB of RAM. I guarantee you that!

"Wow... Now that is one gigantic waste of money! LOL..." LMAO! How much does that thing weigh Tyler? I bet you could take out 1GPU, 2GIG of RAM and a few HDD's with no loss in performance, lol.

It is one CPU. It's a quadcore. Just doing the rough math, his hard drives alone... 500 gig = $150ish (rounded up for easy math) 74 gig raptor = $150ish (rounded down for eash math) Total hard drive cost = $900 Realizing this guy spent around the same on his hard drives alone that I probably have on my whole tower?

@Pariah, ill put it this way... I bet my PSU alone outweighs any of your entire computers

Why do you have that system anyway? You do realize it doesn't help you with the ladies. In fact, even porn won't download any faster. :-) TECH-NO-LOGICAL ROMANCE! http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs12.html

Wow... SCX_Tyler, why would you ever build a system like that? That's probably the stupidest waste of money i've ever seen. Or did you just compile a list of all the leading parts today and claim it as your machine? Seems more likely, as if you knew anything about wringing performance out of a system you wouldn't have 16 (!) GB of RAM (very slow RAM at that), over 2 terabytes of HD space, or the retardedly and unnecessarily expensive Vista Ultimate. I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.

"Seems more likely, as if you knew anything about wringing performance out of a system you wouldn't have 16 (!) GB of RAM" Well, not that I am defending him in his purchasing decisions, but if he was running with this amount of RAM, Vista Ultimate makes sense because it comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, so it would allow him to dual boot both as needed, valuable since 64-bit isn't compatible with everything, and he would need 64-bit for when he needed to leverage all his RAM. As for needing 16gig of RAM, if he were running a ton of virtual machines, then yeah, it could be used, and no amount of tweaking can overcome the fact that each virtual machine needs some ram. With a quadcore and that amount of RAM, he could dedicated 2GB to 7 virtual machines, still leaving his host OS with 2GB. That could be useful for software testing or learning various products, etc. Nevertheless, unless this guy is a top end network engineer or software developer, yes, this is incredibly foolish, and I wouldn't (and actually don't) believe he owns this type of system. I have a machine dedicated to virtualization since I am a network engineer. Specs as follows: Opteron 165 1.8GHz dual core OC'ed to 2.5GHz 4GB RAM 1x 60 gig SATA drive (for host OS and CD ISO storage) 1x 500 gig 16M cache SATA drive to run VM's Nvidia 7300GT PCI-e video card (don't need anything powerful) Windows 2003 R2 64-bit VMWare Server You can clearly see I'm far more reasonable as far as money spent is concerned, and I can run quite a few VM's without any speed issues. Of course, what breaks the bank is that's not my main machine, which equals or exceeds this machine in everything but how much RAM it has. LOL...

Ok, wow... 1st of all this IS a waste of money, there is no argueing that. Period. 4 HDDs? Why, are you running a bussiness? You need like 900 teribytes to load every game ever made? Wait, let me guess you dont even game do you? 2nd, then most graphically demanding game out today cannot even stress an over clocked GeForce 7950(s) any one of em. So to waste money on TWO 8800s...you need to be spankt and put in a corner. You should be ashamed. Go lay down some where. Actually go lay with your waste of money cause your the only one that really apppreciates it.. The gamer guy

i bought it (recently) to last, i hope not to be buying a computer for a very long long long time(just upgrades now and then) and i am a gamer and cant wait for the next gen of pc gaming and the other purpose shall not be posted on this thread. and if you don't believe me i don't really care,just don't make a post on a tech help forum about how good your computer is, because nobody should give a f**k about how good your computer is. and @AdamNelson "the retardedly and unnecessarily expensive Vista Ultimate." who says i paid for it.

"i bought it (recently) to last, i hope not to be buying a computer for a very long long long time(just upgrades now and then)" LOL, sorry that makes no sense. You spent (if you actually have that computer, which I doubt) literally thousands of dollars to have a system that may be able to game a bit longer than a $1,000 system. You'd have been much better off buying $1,000 computers every year for your money. Just look at your video cards. If recent trends are any indication, a single top end card will beat your two SLI'd cards by next year in performance. Tell me how much economic sense it makes spending $1,000 on video cards that will be beaten by a single $500 card next year. "and the other purpose shall not be posted on this thread." You obviously don't have one. TECH-NO-LOGICAL ROMANCE! http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs12.html
