New Computer!!

Post by Majestic »

I've finally bought myself a new computer, it's expected to be at my home in about 3 weeks. Some of the specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 2x3.0GHz
Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200RPM HDD (Kuchcik you'll like hdd :P How was writing that essay?)
Kingston 2x1GB Kit
MSI GeForce 8600GTS Diamond 512MB GDDR3
IIyama E1902S-B1 19" TFT (Finally I can dump my old 15")
MS Winshit Vista Home Premium

Yay!!! Quite a step forward from my rusty old 1.23 GHz and Radeon 9550 :wink:
The thing will cost me about 1100 Euros. For the English and Polish members: It is about 830 Pounds or almost 4000 Złoty(bad if you have to pay in coins of 1 Groszy). :P

Nah my firewall fucks up the connection with master.gamespy.com
So I can't see any servers at all.

Oh by the way I got a score of about 11500 on 3DMark (no OC).

What computer have you at the moment?
What graphic-port do you have? PCI? AGP? PCIe?
And ... how much do you want to pay?

If you have a PCIe port and don't want to pay much, you can buy a ATI Radeon 2400 Pro.

I payed about 40 Euros and the perfomance is enough for me at the moment ... (Prey: All options at max (Except of the resolution); Deus Ex with OpenGL: Up to 330 FPS; Project Freedom: Up to 200 FPS).

A few technical data of my Sapphire HD 2400 Pro (ATI Radeon 2400 Pro):
- RAM : 256 MB DDR2
- Direct X 10 Ready
- Pixel Shader 3.0
- 64 Bit

Not Up-to-date, but if you don't want pay much and if it's enough already ... you might have a good graphic card =)
