darky Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 OK. I have made a dumb decision, that's going to pay off in the fun factor, and kill me socially and in the area of college. My parents (as a graduation present) want to buy my a nice new car. But, I, in my youth and lust for a next generation computer... have chosen to get a freaking hardcore computer instead. I'm going to be a senior in high school this year in the fall and so I want to start thinking about the computer now. What are some REALLY hardcore system specs that will be able to run games like JKII, Doom III and whatever else like they were old games? Also, a great, super fast modem for online play would be great. I'm just looking for some ideas, I've got a whole year to decide. Remember, technology will change probably quite a bit in the next year, so think ahead before you post "today's" super machine. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD_ToRMeNt Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Buy a car kid, and move this post to the general (does it have a name yet?) forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordus1587246506 Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 hmm....2.0-2.5ghz, 256mb ram, 24x CD-RW, 80GB HD, And either a Voodoo 5 or a nice Rage card of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal_jk2 Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Get a CAR! CCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR! I strongly suggest a Volkswagon Golf (black)... mainly because I have that. Just take a car kid, but not one of those expansive cars. Just one that looks nice and fun to drive in. But don't get a computer. Your car will outlive any PC. Those get Virus crashes.... even if you are careful! However cars, if you are careful... you wont get much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letalis Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 256mg of RAM? More like a Gig plus. This is a whole year we're talking about! It's the least I'd want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Get a car to pull the birds....buy a nice sports merc...thats what i have . At the moment the ideal pc would be a P4 1.7Ghz, Geforce 3, 1024Mb Ram, 80Gb Hard Disk, 24x CD-RW, soundblaster 1024, Desktop Theater 5.1 DTT2500 Digital...thats the best you can get. Wait til the autumn and you'll be able to get a 2Ghz system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Jim Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Get a damn car kid! Your future social skills will thank you. Unless you'll be happy living alone at 40 in your parents dark basement apartment hidden behind the stacks of comic books and sticky ***** mags trying to read your 36 inch computer screen through your coke bottle glasses to see if there's any other members of your clan playing the latest mod at 4 in the morning while some other guy is married to the woman you should have married and living comfortably in the oceanside house that could have been yours except for the fact that you missed that train while you were shootin it up with your other die-hard clan buddies to see who could be the most "elite". Is that a run on sentence. I never know anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Yeah, I'd say a car is a better move too. Especially if they are going to get you a nice, new car. You can just get a job next summer and buy a killer system...then you'd have both! Think about it though...a really tech computer costs about $2500 while a kick ass car costs $15000 to $30000. Screw your parents while you still can!!! Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
