Omne Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I'm gonna need a new hard drive, more RAM, and perhaps a new video card (running a geforce 3 ti200 right now). Of course, this is not easy when I pay 35k a year for tuition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 My system specs: 1.3 ghz Athlon 640 mb ddram Asus geforce4 4400 80 gig hd 17 inch screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trahern Valley Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Since everyone seems to be posting specs, I may as well go into detail with the PC I'm planning to put together. I think this is the final-decision hardware list: Abit TH7-II motherboard Intel Pentium IV Northwood 2.8B GHz processor 500+ RDRAM (I can never remember the exact number, lol) 123.5GB IBM hard drive GeForce Ti4600 graphics card I'll be putting it all in an aluminium case (which acts like a big heatsink) complete with appropriate power supply and cooling fans, and connecting it to a Samsung 18.1" LCD monitor. I've yet to decide if I'll overclock the processor past 3GHz. At last, I shall move beyond the lower-to-mid-range. It shall be my Christmas present to myself; which means it'll be up and running by the time SWG comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaalgoth Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Well, I've got to get a new CPU, but right now i have 700 Athalon 384 ram 64mb geforce4 4200 but I'm going to buy an athalon XP 2200, so that should top me off nicely. that's about all i really need, anyways.

That's the number. As for the graphics card, it's the one thing I already have; ironically, my current machine doesn't care for it all that much, lol. Four years old is 80 in human years...but at least now I can afford better. Assuming I don't blow it up, first. It'll be the first PC I've put together myself.

I recommend letting your computer store put the CPU and the CPU cooler in the mainboard That way you have a nice little guarantee that if you blow your processor up you can get a free new one I should know, I already blew 2 up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you even looked at the screenies? Now go look at them again and tell me again the graphics aren't better then JK2's! Nah but seriously, im getting a nice system together because I dont want to loose nice visual settings in order to improve my framerate. But updating your videocard would be a nice idea.. I recommend the geforce4 4200 if your on a tight budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trahern Valley Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Getting back to the point of the thread in just a moment, but I'd just like to say: about JK2 graphics, while my current machine tends to freak 5 minutes into gameplay when I'm trying to use my kick-buttocks graphic card, I get movie-style screenwipes that I don't get with the Prophet I usually use. Just a detail I wanted to include. Now, OT once more, I'm dropping the processor down to 2.5 GHz because the website I'm getting the stuff from bundles it with the motherboard and half the memory I want, along with a cooler (which I hadn't really thought about). I've decided not to overclock the processor right away; I'll see how it is at factory settings, then clock it up to 3.0 and decide if I want to keep it there. Not sure how much of a difference it would make, but I should probably find out for the sake of personal experience, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
