Well, since this is a gaming website I'm pretty sure that most people will have it set up for gaming.

Shame on you. Browsing the escapist at work.

OT: I'm not entirely sure how to find what all the parts of my PC are, if anyone has a way I would be happy to post it.

Yeah its too addictive you know.

Here is the website where you can see your rig, just choose any game, it will still show you your setup.

I have a nice little toshiba laptop. It might not be able to play too many games after 2008 with decent graphics, but it can run just about anything, and it has withstood plenty of use, I have traveled with it across continents, performed live with it, and completed half life on it. I almost seem sad that I am going to replace it at the end of the year.

Intel Celeron Processor @ 1.6GHZ
Intel(R) 82945G Express @ 256 MB
1014 MB RAM
Vista 32-bit
120 GB hard drive

That is all I know about how powerful the bugger is.

To be honest I cant bring an awful lot to this e-p*nis waving contest. My setup is the last of the AGP PC's, with an Athlon X2 and an HD 3850. Its a gaming PC, and can manage most console port type games or those where the graphics arent too challenging. But for stuff like Metro 2033 it only gets smooth frame rates at low settings. Actually to be fair it can run crysis on the highest settings that arent DX10 if I stick to 1024 x 768, as I am still running XP / DX9.0c.

I also go on the net with it, but even some websites seem to make it chug from time to time. Soon, when I have conquered all of humanity, I shall be rich enough to own a far bigger e-p*nis.

 

[Samwise137]

I feel like I've done this before but:

Gigabyte MoBo
AMD Phenom X4 2.33 GHz Black Edition
760 Western Digital Caviar GB Main HDD
2TB Seagate Barracuda Storage HDD
4GB SuperTalent Overclocking RAM
MSI Nvidia GeForce 9600GT 512 MB GDDR3

21" WS Samsung Display with Matte Finish
Saitek Eclipse Keyboard (Blue)
Logitech G7 Wireless Gaming Mouse
Logitech x540 Surround Sound Speakers
More plugs than I know what to do with

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

This is my powerhouse desktop for Gaming, 3D Artwork/Animation, Rendering etc. It's getting a bit old now (pushing 2 years) but it still kicks some serious hiney. Impending upgrades include new video card, new MoBo, and new CPU within the next year or so.

Intel PM965
2x2GB DDR2
Intel C2D 2.8GHz 6MB
nVidia Quadro FX3600

It's over 3 years old and nowhere near as fast, but I don't see it going any soon. Just because it's damn portable.
