[Guest Kyle d'Tana]

I hope you know what I mean. well, I have an asus geforce 2 32mb, and a pentium II 400 MMX. do you think its good for gaming? or what is better? (i have 192 MB RAM).

 

thanks for help me!!

[Guest Kyle d'Tana]

Hello??!!

[Guest Rogue15]

well, that sounds better than my computer...except i have 600 mhz.

[Guest Wraith 5]

Well my comp at this moment is:

 

Pentium II 266 mhz

32 mb ram

2.3 GB harddisk

Monster 3DFX

 

 

And now a days that is a minimum.

So i guess you can play a lot of games.

But it depends on wich games you wish to play.

 

[Guest Kyle d'Tana]

well, i see, my pc is not so bad. (400MHz, 6 GB HD, 192 MB RAM, GeForce2 32MB). Ok for Unreal Tournament its ok, but black and white don't go well...

 

[Guest Lt Cracken]

*COUGH*

Pentium III 1.0 GHZ

256 MB RAM

ATI Radon 7000 VE, with 32 MB DDR ram and AGPx4

2 8gig HD, totaling a pitiful 16 Gig HD space.

48x CD-rom Drive

[Guest Rogue15]

ok, mine is a...:

 

Compaq Presario

 

600 MHz

 

63 megabytes of dram (i hate dram...)

 

1.77 Gigabytes left of hd space, i used 9.46 gigabytes so far. Lots of games on it and i'm dang proud of it.

If it works don't worry about it unless you have money to burn. You can get a nice PIII for cheap. do you have a BX mobo? I would imagine you do. The vid card is nice and you have pleanty of ram.. Go look for a PIII 600-800 if you have money. If you can find a 600 Coppermine then just turn up the FSB to 133 and you'll have a 800mhx PC. a 700 will do 933 ,most of the chips past that don't O/C real well... Most of the PIII with the cB0 stepping will over clock easily. You will need to get some PC133RAM though. you vid card should be able to run at the 89MHZ that your AGP slot will be cranked up to.

I hade a 550 katmai chip that did 640mhz at default voltage..

 

 

I have a PIII 700 overclocked to 933. 256mg of crucial CAS2 PC133, Creative Geforce 2 GTS, two (2) 13.6 GIG HDD and a 52X CD and a kick ass addtronics case with 7 fans.

[Guest Lt Cracken]

and a reminder, O/C'ing will void the warrenty, so if your computer catches fire, or melts down, your out 100-300 or so dollars.

[Guest S1DC]

Optimum basic specs for a gaming PC, being a HC gamer, i would have to say are the following:

 

GeForce 3

1.5-2 Gig ram

PIV 2.0 gig

any keyboard thats not onemof those crappy natural ones, that seem so curved. not good for hand placement (especialy for us traditional Caseaks. [CTRL ALT SHIFT ENTER ARROW-KEY-STRAFE])

Big-ol-plasma-monitor. Even if they cost more than the PC itself...

Cambridge sound system (5 peice)

Boomslang mouse (optical)

Nice stereo headphones (for late night gaming)

20 gig main HD

8-10 gig backup/compressed drive

CD burner for duping games (oops, did i say that out loud?)
