What are your computer specs?

[SilentShadow]

I've been gone for a while, partly because I'd been having computer issues, relating to me sqitiching to my brother's CPU and having my PCI-E chip fry making it so my graphics card was no longer usable and making me un-able to play anything basically :/ Just recently I got a new computer for roughly $650 from Best Buy. I knwo some of you would say "WHY NOT CUSTOM MAKE IT, WHY BUY FROM A STORE" My reason is that I just got a job finally and I needed a loan from my parents but the only way they'd do it is if I bought it with the Best Buy credit-card and made the payments. I'll eb able to do this easil so I agreed becasue ti was the only way I'd get a new comp from it. Anyways enough of my rambling, time for Specs! I jsut want to compare specs with people and see what kind of hardware people use and how well it works.

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.20 GHz (Quad-Core)
RAM: Currently 4gb of DDR3 but I'm gonna get 4 more
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 6770

It came with a 1tb hard drive and Windows 7, so good buy? and what are your specs?

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

whoa shit dude what happened to your paragraph? It starts off fine and then there's a huge infestation of spelling errors.

My comp's from 2007, prebuilt with modifications. It was a good start off. http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1014168/1014168sp2.shtml

Gateway GT5408 was the base model.

I added in
Couple of more gigs of ram, around ten in total (I was playing StarCraft: Broodwar and suddenly it fucking fries 4 gigs of ram WHAT THE ROYAL FUCK)
GeForce 8800GT, switched out and currently a shitty Radeon HD 4770
580 watt power supply
a super fucking old thermaltake tower with eight knobs and fans that don't work
Pretty much that's it.

[MENTLEGEN]

A college tuition doesn't play Battlefield 3 as well as a high-end gaming computer does.

Lol this is the true

[SilentShadow]

@S.A.S. Your 4770 is better than my old 4350 xD also I count 6 typing errors, and for me that's pretty damn good :P
@DR Nice comp :P but I didn't need every exact detail xD also that's still not a super computer, I've seen better.

Something I'm interested in is an ATI Radeon HD 6990 graphics, but that'll never happen. I've hardly looked into the price but from ATI's "store" They go for the same amount I paid for my computer. Roughly $650+. Also DR what's an easy way to find all the info you got? P.S. an ATI Radeon HD 6990 is the fastest graphics card in the world (Or so they say).

[Capitalier]

1055T hexacore 2.8 ghz up in this bitch

[SilentShadow]

WHO NEEDS MROE THAN 4?
Windows 7 needs like minimum of 4 (I was told this by computer "experts") Having more lets you do mroe with less issues, like play minecraft!. Things in that game take up SHIT TONS of RAM.

[Dark.Revenant]

Dual GTX 560Ti cards when they're SLI'd together are cheaper than and considerably better than a HD 6990.

My comp was not very expensive. Of the total donation volume I have gotten so far, this computer probably cost about a third of that amount when I bought it.

[SilentShadow]

@DR Interesting... Mind explaining? (The graphics)

@Pedobear I wanna see if I can run Crysis, I always hear that the game requires an amazing comp and that it's quality is amazing so I wanna see how well I can run it, because I have yet to hit a limit to my graphics quality. BTW 24gb's of ram on a laptop? Sounds.... pointless....

[Dark.Revenant]

Battlefield 3 is probably the more intensive game. Crysis is old news now, really.

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

Crysis 1 was more or less heavily unoptimized as well as pretty graphics. Crysis 2 has fucking great optimization and if totally fucking awesome with the grfikkzx

You upgraded to a GTS 450? Why? It's old and not that great. Kind of a shame, seeing as how it's probably the performance bottleneck in your computer, at least for gaming, so you're gonna have to upgrade it again before you upgrade anything else.

I used to have 2xGTX 295 double-pcb with 1,7gb of ram each.

One fried and the other was doing a shitload of noise when I was playing so I sold it and bought this one really cheap. It works great even with BF3 so I don't complain.

But yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that an "upgrade"

[oops_ur_dead]

Yeah, definitely not an upgrade at all. Its a shame the cards crapped out on you.

There's a reason everyone is telling you to pick up a 6800.

Fine, it's better by that much, but still, the 6770 is still pretty damn good so I don't care. One day I'll get an even better one.

An extra $100 and you get two more cores and a better graphics card at the cost of .5tb of HDD. XD

[Apocist]

I refused to go four core for technical reasons, as for the hhd it was only 65$

[SilentShadow]

Lol I understand why you don't want any more cores, they don't take a whole lot away from the initial core. The second core jsut calculates numbers. Need to use the built in calculator? You're using core two. Everything else? Core one. I don't know what the otehrs are for, I only know core two, but they probably don't do that much. As for the processor itself, I imagine that the higher core processors also have better a better processing speed. It would make sense but that's not a confirmed fact, I have no idea. Some company makes processors with 56 cores or something like that. I'd like to know what each core does..... Core thirty-seven probably loads a single pixel XD.

[Apocist]

Ummm..accually I think you've mistaken that for the ALU..thats apart of one of the cores.

Each core itself processes instructions seperatly but not every computer application is multi-core optimized(only most modern games). The most compatible setup for gaming rigs would be a 2 core system due to the fact that multiple cores are best used for multitasking. Some games can only make use of two cores...that means the other 2 cores are not being used and the game is running at half your total computer processing speed.

[Zane]

Sorry but that's pure bs. I don't see any reason why you should stay @ a phenom ii x2. The Intel quads are MUCH better and cheap.

[Apocist]

heck i could have went phenom 6 core, that would have been alot faster for video editing/rendering but i wanted something that was most compatible with games, there are a few games/emulators that i have that only support 2 cores

plus that certain chip was the fastest cheapest one on newegg...intel is awesome but pricy

[Zane]

intel is quite cheap compared to amd.. mid/high end is a clear lose for amd

but let's keep it here would like to see more specs :D

I was given that information from my father, who knows quite a bit about computers and went to school for programming. I should trust his knowledge of computers but I honestly don't..... He isn't caught up with all this new technology, and all the new styles and formats. He doesn't like to show it but I know it confuses him greatly. I honestly think more cores would actually do something but he keeps insisting that they do next to nothing >.> What would be the point of adding more cores if they only did a few tiny things? There has to be a reason, and I think it's cause they actually do something. If someone knows what they're talking about please explain, I would like to know the truth about this becasue I don't fully believe in teh info I was given....

[Apocist]

When you have more than one core you have something like multiple computer engines processing all of the data for all of your programs. its like giving yourself 2 or 4 or even more brains in which to think with.

[NorthStar]

Some cores share the work load. Such as the i5 and i7, they're optimized to adapt or share when necessary so people won't realise that if Intel came with a single core nowadays they would need a refund.
