The new rig...

Postby Wing Nut » Sun Sep 10, 2006 1:16 am

The important stuff anyway...  ;)

Dual Core AMD 3800 64 bit processor
2.0 Gigs RAM
370 Gb HD
512 MB Radeon Video Card
17" Widescreen LCD monitor

It'll do...  ;D

I was going to go with a 4200 processor, but decided the minimal increase in performance wasn't enough to justify the extra money...  I'm upping the RAM asap.

Nice rig Kevin. Which Radeon did you get?

X1600...  Seems to work well.  I'm getting around 30+ FPS in downtown Chicago with everything maxed out...  ;D

Hmm, personally I would have gotten a 7800GT for the same price, but the X1600 will do quite nicely. Not a bad choice.
