I just ordered my new gaming rig. here's my specs:

[gorath]

This is one of those geeky "check out my new computer" posts, but I'm so excited I can't help it...

-Athlon XP 2000+
-512 MB Kingston PC2100 memory
-Leadtek Geforce4 ti4200 64 mb (I skimped a little here, but it came really cheap with this computer, and I figure I'll eventually be upgrading the video card anyhow).
-Soundblaster Audigy
-Gigabyte via kt333 motherboard (i know the 333 is pointless, but that's what they were offering)
-19" NEC FE950+ Diamondtron CRT
-16X Toshiba DVD
-32X Lite-On CDRW
-Creative Inspire 5300 speakers

It costed me $1440 including shipping at Nutrend.com.

can't wait till Doom 3 comes out. yippee!

nice rig mate, you will enjoy it when it arrives i assure you, im using practically the same comp just with afew minor ajustments

[gorath]

Thanks!

Well they're building it for me, I'm not putting it together, but it should get here in about 12 days or so.

[problemchild]

mine also took 12 days from day of order, if you want my specs il post them up 4 ya

[gorath]

yeah, let's hear em, Problemchild. Did you get it from the same place?

[problemchild]

nope got it from evesham micros in the uk (thats where im from)

AMD XP 2100+
768MB Kingston PC2100 memory
Ge-force 4 ti 4400 128 DDR RAM
Western Digital 100gig HDD
19" Samsung 957df flat screen monitor
Creative Inspire 5.1 DTT5300 Speakers
40X10X40 CD-RE writer
Sound Blaster Audigy Sound & Firewire card
XP Home Edition

[gorath]

Nice system, probchild! I read an article that said the 2100+ beats out a P4 2.4 gig 400mhz FSB in benchmarks. Pretty kick-ass.

[problemchild]

yeah ive read summet along those lines to, the gf4 card is absolutely amazing though i love it

[Mike]

Very nice..I don't have any money to upgrade my XP 1700+ so I won't.

[gorath]

I wanted to get a ti4400, but I was a little short on cash, and the ti4200 saved me about $75.

Also, I figure that since my current system is a PII350 with an 8MB graphics card, the improvement will be so drastic that I'll be pretty happy with the 4200 regardless.

LOL-- I'm hoping.

yeah is that gf4 with 64DDR?

I assume so...not sure...I'll check.

[gorath]

Actually it doesn't say. I figured all the GF4ti's came with the same kind of memory.

[problemchild]

im not sure if the gf4 ti 4200 comes with 64 or 128DDR RAM, i know the 4400 and 4600 come with 128 DDR RAM
