Seriously though,that PC's only worth 2 cents :| he really needs a new rig badly...

Hey I'm seriously considering buying this computer! It's a Quad Core and stuff so hopefully it'll be future-proof but anyway, my questions are

1. This comp is fromwww.ibuypower.com has anyone else bought any comps from there? is it a good place or are there others retailers that you recommend?

2. I want to be able to play Crysis, CoD4, etc. on med to high settings. will this comp be able to pull that off? i know the graphics card sux but i'm just putting that crappy one in till the 9000 series comes out. but when i get a better vid card will it be able to handle crysis?

3. My knowledge of computers is pretty limited (so that's why i'm not building one) so do the parts look like they'll work together, power supply be sufficient, etc? i'd hate to have an incompatible mother board, be missing pieces, or anything like that lol

4 For what i'm getting, do you think the price is good?

Thanks in advance! I know i'm asking a lot. here are the system specs and the price (i basically just copied and pasted from the website so there's a lot of info there lol)

iBuyPower = iBuyPoop,avoid them at all costs,get a Dell XPS 410 with 8800GTX,2GB RAM and E6550,that kills ANY and ALL iBuyPoop and CyberPoops.

But you should do some research on computer hardware so you should be able to build your own Rig that kills both the Dell andiBuyPoop and CyberPoop.

Try to add more RAM. 2GB should do it. You're gonna need it, since Crysis will most like test your aging processor there. But your card is still very good friend, may not hold that well against DX10 cards but definitely its still no pushover.

Hey i've got a kinda hardware question i guess...

What exactly is the difference between a Core 2 Duo and a Core 2 Q6600?

And is a Core 2 Duo E6700 or Core 2 Q6600 better? thx in advance

WHO CANT WAIT FOR CRYSIS!!! OMG ME SWEET TIMES!!!
ITS GOING TO BE LIKE YEH BRO THIS IS SWEET!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

:P :D YEOW!!!

Crysis

In my oldy Pentium 4 2,9 ghz, 1,5gb pc 3200 ram, 256 mb vram

all the games can run at high quality (not highest) settings with my personal tweaks

I will buy Bioshock this week, I hope it runswell (not highest quality)

I play on TV for better graphics or speed.....

I´m waiting for Viva Piñata

You know this will run well on many games dont u?

My PC can definitely run Magic the Gathering - Battlegrounds, but I was wondering whether it's really supposed to run so incredibly fast that you can't keep up with the AI casting spells even if you keep hitting the hotkeys.
And it's on the slowest laptop I have around here, an Athlon 1.6 GHz with 512 MB RAM.

what is the system requirements for nhl 08?i have a sephron 3400+ 2 ghz with a 256 mbgraphics card and 1 gig ramtruegamer1988

VRAM size has no direct relationship to game performance. Core speed and VRAM memory speed, along with memory bandwidth, are what affects performance. Game requirements naming VRAM size is about as useless as power supplies being sold by their wattage.

There is no such CPU, either. For high perfprmance PCs, there is the AMD X2, and the Core2 Duo. You may have a lower level AMD processor named the Sempron, with an M, not an H, in its name.

I'm thinking of getting this Dell XPS 410 but do you think this will max out Oblivion? And how do you think it'll work with Crysis?

Hi my friend... why are u going to buyan Already Built System when u can build one of your likings for less of what u're going to pay for a brand new one already built.??

Buy a component buy component and build it yourself.... its what I do, and its what I'll keep on doing...

i have xp athlon 64 dual core 3800+ 2ghz a gb of ram and nvidia 7300le. i bought the hitman triple pack and have just finished hitman 2 silent assassin and started contracts. i thought i would be able to max out contracts because the requirements arent very high ( recommended: 256 ram 1.6ghz). however it plays jerkily on any higher than 800*600 and even slightly jerky on that. its very irritating, i already know that the 7300 is rubbish but surely it can play contracts? im worried because i want to play blood money as well. could someone help? is there any way i can optimize my systems performance?

Well that's what im going to do now ;) i posted this then ppl told me i could get the same or better for cheaper if get the parts myself so that's what i'm gonna do :)

I currently play Bioshock with a geforce 7600gt and 512mb RAM

All low settings.

Would 1gig get me up to at least medium settings smooth fps? Or should I go with 2gig, Id prefer to get just 1gig to be honest...

[QUOTE="deepskye"]

How well will my laptop run Bioshock?

Core 2 Duo T7300 @.0 GHz 800MHz FSB, 4 MB L2 Cache

Geforce 8600M GT Turbocache 256 MB (says up to 1024MB)

2 GB DDR2 RAM

Sammojo

is that a dell inspiron or an asus g1 by any chance? btw, do you mean 2.0 GHz, 0.0 isnt much, jks.

Edit: I would like to ask if there is a reason for this:

Bioshock demo ran smoothly on the preset settings on my desktop and on my laptop it got mega lag, and i had to turn them onto low and 800x600. got horribe framerate, whereas on desktop it ran fine. Here are the specs

desktop:

pentium 4 2.8ghz, 768mb 667mhz ram (it ran fine even under 1GB), 400w psu, Nvidia GF 7600GS .

Laptop:

core duo @ 1.73 (3.13 Ghz), 1gb ram, Nvidia GF Go 7300.

Would the GPU have that much effect, or did it have something to do with the power supply and motherboard aswell?

sorry my bad, yeah 2.0 Ghz. Its an acer aspire 5920G

Tehgiggles

no there is almost no difference in bioshock with 512mb to 1 gig. i think its probably your processor holding you back

It can play all games without problems

at least my pc with 1gb or ram and geforce 7100gs can play all without problems.

I JUST GOT A GEFORCE 8500GT WITH 512 MB IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH 2 PLAY ALL GAMES OR NO I WAS GONNA GET THE 8800 BUT THIS ONE WAS ON SALE FOR $85 SO IF ITS GOOD ENOUGH ILL KEEP IT SO I DONT HAVE 2 PAY $300 FOR AN 8800?????dvltgrs18

PLEASE DO NOT SHOUT AT US !

That's what all caps amounts to, besides being too hard to read. An 8500 GT is a bad joke, and the 512 MBs of RAM on it is a total SCAM. Too bad, you should've done your homework first before wasting the money.

Baron_14

Nope. It's my opinion that you are either totally unable to make an accurate assessment of your total trash piece of garbage video card, or you are trying to make a bad joke here, or this could be an attempt to TROLL with boldly untruthful assertions.

What up! My PC: athlon x2 4200+, 3 Gigs of Ram, 8800 GTS 320mb, Windows Vista... What should I upgrade go play Crysis on max settings. Should i get one more gig of ram or upgrade my processor... (and if anyone know how to safely overcloak my processor, please show me a links

Thanks

Can I play DiRT on my system, and if i can how well?

Of course you can run Crysis at high settings in DX 10.But only at resolutions 1280X1024 and under.

hi can my pc run NFS carbon or mostwanted well_:¿¿¿¿

i have

i dont know a whole lot about laptops, but thats pretty good

one question...

can a new computer with ...

Intel core 2 Quad Q6600 processer 2,4 8mb cache

2048 ddr ram and a Geforce 8600 gts 1279 mb Turbocache

can it run the new games that is coming out this yeah?.. and i me without lag and all that.

:)

Crysis Question

My Specs are:

Processo: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+, MMX, 3Dnow (2CPUs),

RAM: 1.5gig

Graphic Card: NVIDIA GEforce 7800 GT (memory is 512.0MB)

So how good can i run it?

Do gamers think Visat is a problem? I wouldv't thought not - it includes directx10 - only avaible in Vista and can make use of more than 3 gigs of ram - which is XPs limit. All pc gaming rigs should be looking to cram in the ram :) and windows vista is the only real option.

I looked into the Alky Project, which is trying to put the directx10 into XP - and it looks to be taking longer than expected, certainly longer than it would take for me to wait. A high end rig running vista and perhaps 4 gigs and a decent Graphics card and cpu will rock for years to come.

I was a little nervous about getting vista, but I reckon its what gaming rigs (real ones) are for.

Crysis Question

My Specs are:

Processo: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+, MMX, 3Dnow (2CPUs),

RAM: 1.5gig

Graphic Card: NVIDIA GEforce 7800 GT (memory is 512.0MB)

So how good can i run it?

ele975

I would have thought that the game Crysis will run on most systems - but dual and quad cores with a medium range grahpics card as minimum. There's nothing wrong with this system, but (although its my personal taste) all gaming pcs should run with around 2 gigs of ram - anything more is a bonus
