My Computer Build

cpu=dual core E8600 Wolfdale 3.33 GHZ
Video= GeForce GTS 250 1GB
core clock:770
shader clock:1890
memory clock:1123
Ram/memory: 3GB GSkill DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)

not becuase u have a quad core,means it gunna operate fast,u have to watch speeds too.

Monitor:Acer H243Hbmid 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail

computer runs call of duty world at war/nfs undercover,etc---all on highest settings.

 

Those are old games try and run GTA IV on your computer and tell us if it runs smoothly
I have:
Windows Vista 64-bit
AMD Phenom 9500 2.2GHZ
Corsair 4GB PC6400 RAM
Asus M2N-SLi
XFX 9800 GT 512MB
Acer 22" monitor
2 red 80mm fans, 1 exhaust fan red UV, front panel blinks to hard drive use (had to cut wire to do it)

All games run on highest settings for me except GTA IV and Chronicles of Riddick. I'll show a picture later of my computer

 

ima have to get those games then
whats the core clock,memory clock,etc-of ur video card
if mine are higher then it'll prob run gta

reccomended for gta iv:
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz. AMD Phenom X3 2.1 Ghz
Memory: Z5GB Vela / 2.5GB XP. 18 GB Free Hard Drive Space
Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870

 

nice build, however with that budget you could do wayyy better.
i just got an 8 core mac pro yesterday... who wants to see?
about to install windows 7 on it later.

 

not to knock you but
8 core mac is awesome

but if its not the new nehalem models
a simple core i7 is clocking those out for about 1k less in price.

id spend the 1k extra on blow and whores irate_arghh:

i was considering a macpro myself but the issue become, paying 1-2k premium for a computer that is very fast no doubt but in terms of parts, isnt superior to what you COULD get in a custom built pc machine.
they still use underpowered power supplies, memory isnt that of glitz

great computer though

 

thats where the loot went,

i tend to disagree about the whole faster clock speed thing,
programs are going multiple cores now, so honestly dual cores are old tech by far.

even @ 3ghz a quad core still can rip a asshole in a dual because its double the processor.

benchmarks dont always prove how the computer may run, its real time usage that proves its power.

if you look at the core i7, it uses triple band memory compared to the old dual cores and older quad cores.
it makes use of all 3gb of ram , or the triple channel config SIMULTANEOUSLY.
compared to the dual channel style on older processors.

intel isnt going over 4ghz standard clocking on chip right now because of heat issues, so what they are doing is releasing more EFFICIENT CHIPS that are producing better speed even at there rated clock.

 

my lap top is faster than your ancient machines

 

ye man,well i can easily upgrade to more better hardware later on,but for now,this is good for me

 

wooow!!!...*jaw drops*...shyts soooo sexy...nice build man

 

sadly the nehalem models weren't in stock at the time i was buying.. so i bought the 2008 model and i plan to upgrade it myself.

the current specs are:

Two 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon CPU's
2 Gigs of memory (gonna install 4 more gigs more in a minute)
256 MB ATi HD 2600 Graphics Card (went low end because im gonna upgrade it anyway) probably to a 1 gig SLi


your probably gonna go on about your i7's but i'll tell you straight up, i just bought this computer because i had the cash laying around. i like apple. i saw the price. and i copped it. indeed if i could build a better computer. but what about the software? MacOSX. its possible to install it on a regular pc but you will have trouble and shit. i just like Mac's. the most i ever do on my computer is mix, play with acid pro, photos, music, and a little video editing. i have a new pc now i might as well start gaming too. they're strong computers and i dont upgrade my shit until like 4-5 years after i buy it. i was previously running a PowerMac G5 1.8 GHz.. those was the days lol. conclusion i dont need ya i7s !

yeah i agree with this chap he seems to know his processors quite well
just like those new mac pro's. the clock is slower but that shit still kicks mine.

 

HOLii SHiiT MAN LOL DiiZ SHiiT LOOKZ SEXY LMAO

 

hell yea it looks nice. nice screen to it prolly brights up da whole dam room cause my17" on my laptop brights up my whole room lol, how big is ur screen

 

Weak core 2 duo.........


Then again even mine isnt that strong the Core 2 Quad q6600.

The c2q's aren't really quad its just 4 cores, 2 dual cores, the new i7's are literally 4 cores though......


even so a c2q @ 2.4-2.8 is much better than a c2d at 3.3whatever you have

 

literally?? so what are they, virtual? what they call it quad for? it has 4 cores on one chip. i7s just use different technologies blah blah to make it faster.

 

He has a 24" Full HD monitor.

 

shit look hot man good job on ur Computer Build and 24 HD Screen monitor HOT

 

Thats a hot comp yo.

u shud upgrade to windows 7

 

nice..similar to my case but more of an upgrade

 

mine needs more ram

 

Took Some More Pix...
