swphreak Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'm pretty sure the three of us are pretty much in the same specs department. OC'd Quad Core @ ~3GHz, 2GB RAM, 8800 GTX. All Seeker has to do is OC his Quad Core and he's all set (with some good cooling). And for 1600, that's a pretty damn good deal. I'm trying to convince my boss to get me a new desktop for work. The one I currently use moves like a snail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigundr Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Lol. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 with 617 MB. I think that's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see overclocking as something to do to lengthen the life of my PC when game's specs start overpowering my rig. I'll OC when I can't run the latest games at the max. And yeah, IG, it's a shame we're talking about computers here. If these rigs were cars, we'd be pimps. Ahhhh, the life of the techie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Yeah, but we're future pimps. The overclocking is one thing that I'm glad about with getting a Dell. I've never overclocked anything before and that's not something I want to test on that beast of a processor, so I'm glad they've done that for me. Btw, I found out that the motherboard on my new comp will have 4 DIMM slots, 2 will be taken up. Also, the PSU is 750W. I still don't know what the cooling will be, but it should probably be sufficient, especially if they're overclocking stuff. [EDIT] I got my comp in. So far 3ds Max is rendering a little over 10 times faster than my old comp. So, if I render something that takes 10 hours on my old comp, it'll render in under an hour on my new comp. Oh, and I can play Oblivion with full settings with smooth 60-FPS And I can play JKA with full settings and 300+ fps. (though, dynamic glow currently doesn't work. D: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
