Nice Chu, ever consider OCing that E7200?

Yeah but I have no real need to. My computer runs pretty damn smoothly as it is.

How are you guys retrieving this infernomation? D:

I built mine myself Kevin, which is why I know. You might want to try Everest Home if you want a more detailed report.

Start -> Run -> 'dxdiag.exe'

Edit: And yeah I built mine myself also.

OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)

Hard Drive: Maxtor 6L200M0 (200.05 GB)

Eh. Basically, I got this 2.5 years ago, and I kept upgrading. I got the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card (upgraded from a rather weaker one, which was upgraded from none). I got a nice little power source that could support the video card, added 1GB RAM. I'm running out of harddrive room as I'm slowly building up a playlist (and having maybe 400 combined SC and WCIII maps..), though, so that might have to go next (or a processor). I use this keyboard, which came with this (which I had already, but I replaced the old one when I got the keyboard+mouse set as a gift). Yes, I'm logitech fanboi . I like shiny. The monitor I use is this.

Anyway, this thing does pretty much anything I want it to do (thankfully, I don't want to play shooters).

My brother recently got a desktop/monitor for Christmas, which really pissed me off. His harddrive was like 450gb, he had one of those shiny Intel processors, so while I spent my time upgrading, he managed to match me in one freaking holiday .

So, should I head for a better specs ASAP?

To run modern games, you'll probably want to upgrade. Either that, or lag like hell. My computer has similar specs to yours, and it lags like hell when I play CS, or load plugins into Morrowind.

There has never been a better time to build a PC. Prices are so low right now. 4GB RAM is like 50-60$. Speaking of which, I should pick some up...

My case is a piece of crap, only 1 hole in the back, and a sorta exit in front, but it sucks, I'm running on Windows XP Media Center, SP3, with the sexy Electric Zune theme. I have 1 master, 2 slaves, and 1 external harddrive for a total of 1.78 terabytes of space

My computer is pretty hawt, IMO.

A few years old... Nothing special even then. ;o

I think that's about it. It still plays games pretty well. I can't turn 16x AA on in Left 4 Dead, and I can only play Crysis on medium-high settings, but it's worked like a charm for over 2 years now and has done everything I've asked it to. Seriously, that 8800 GTX still packs a great punch. Too bad it cost a third of what it did when I bought it a mere six months later.
