I am starting this thread as a reference for anybody who may be considering upgrading thier PC,or even building/buying a new one,toplay their games.
Simply state your computers specs, what games you play, and how they run in what setting. I will start it off by stating myspecs and what I play. My (crap) Computer [ul][*]CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1.8Ghz 400Mhz FSB 256k Cache[*]Motherboard: TriGem Computer, INC. 82845G/GL/GV[*]Chipset: Intel 845GL[*]RAM: 1GB PC3200 Corsair ValueSelect (2x512MB)[*]Video Card: Xtacy Radeon 9200SE 128MB PCI[*]Operating System: Windows XP Professional (Never updated, Not even SP1...take that Microsoft)[*]Hard Drives: Seagate Baracuda 30.6GB 2MB Cache, Maxtor 200GB8MB Cache[*]CD/DVD: Generic 52x32x52 DC-RW, Generic 16x DVD-ROM[*]PSU: Generic 350Watt[/ul] Games I play [ul][*]Starcraft: Flawless[*]Counter-Strike 1.6: 1024x760 32 bit color; 40-70FPS[*]Day of Defeat: 1024x768 32 bit color; 40-60FPS[*]Counter-Strike: Source: 640x480 Lowest everything, except High Texture and Model; 10-40FPS (lol.)[*]Emulators: Everything up to and above N64 will lag, anything below will run flawless.[/ul] Feel free to put in your Bench results from 3dMark, Sandra, or whatever else you may have run. If you overclock, say so. Please do not post anything other then what this thread is, try to keep it as on-topic as possible. Start a new thread if you have a question, or email somebody. If you don't know how to get your computers specs download and install Sandra soft 2005 Lite, it will tell you everything you need to know. -Mr_Me_II

Yer missin the point, state specs, and how well those specs run your games. This is a guide for people upgrading thier comps and whatnot.
If they see you have a setup with say, a Pentium 4 530 3.0ghz, and you say it runs Source at 70FPS with this videocard, they can say "Hey, I think ill get that one!" State the games and how they run, otherwise this is just a bragging contest.
