I'm glad to see someone else still uses this awesome card.

It is an awesome card. I had it in an older rig I built.

Only because SoundBlasters are notoriously bad in SMP systems.

I use it because of it's excellent SNR and Harmonics

RE: Gaming Machine [Your PC Specs]

Well then...after seeing some of the other rigs I feel kind of dumb, but hey, for conversations sake:

AMD Athlon X2 4200+ @ 2.2Ghz
BFG 7600GT 256bit
2GB Corsair XMS
ASUS A8N SLi Premium mobo
Seagate Barracuda 300GB HD
Saitek Eclipse keyboard (as if that matters)
Wacom Intous3 9x12
Modded Antec Sonata II case (awesome case by the way!)

This rig was a breath of fresh air after the 4 year old family Dell (Pentium 3, 256 MB RAM...blah.) Plus I don't have to share anymore! Muahahahaha!

RE: Gaming Machine [Your PC Specs]

I built my current computer last fall. It wasn't anywhere near top-of-the-line when I built it, but it still wasn't a skimpy budget system either (The CPU alone cost over 2/3 of what was spent to build my entire last computer). Currently I don't play very many games (And the ones I do play are simply console emulators), but I believe my computer could play some of the current games if I ever decided to try, although it might be pushing it when it comes to any games released after about now:

-Generic Beige & Gray Full-Tower Case (I prefer functionality over form)
-Thermaltake 420W PSU
-MSI K8N Neo4-F Motherboard
-AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Skt939 Venice Core
-1GB (4x256MB) Crucial Ballistix DDR PC3200 RAM in Dual-Channel configuration
-120GB Primary (Windows) IDE Harddrive (Transferred from my old computer, the next drive I get will be SATA)
-20GB Secondary (Linux) IDE Harddrive
-Dual-Layer 16x DVD+/-RW Drive
-16x DVD-ROM/48x CD-ROM Drive
-Sapphire Radeon X700 128MB PCI-Express Graphics
-Onboard 7.1 Surround Sound (Don't recall the brand/model right now. I'm half-deaf, so audio quality isn't all that important to me)
-Onboard Gigabit Ethernet
-Dual-Boot: Windows XP Professional & SUSE Linux 9.1
-15" HP CRT Monitor (Cannot afford an LCD, and a larger CRT won't fit in my desk)
-Logitech Wireless Mouse & Keyboard

Considering I currently don't play games, this system might seem like overkill for me. Well, I don't see it as overkill, I see it as planning for a computing future in which I might need the power. Just because I don't play games now, it doesn't mean I never will. Besides, some of the things I DO currently use this system for requires the increased horsepower over my last system (Such as running five virtual machines simultaneously in VMware, or rendering large complex files in Bryce 3D).

RE: Gaming Machine [Your PC Specs]

Okay, since I missed this thread and erroneously made one in the Tech forum, I'll just repost here what I posted there. It's a PowerSpec 9130 with the following features:


Intel D 830 processor at 3.00GHz
Biostar i945G-M7 motherboard
2GB RAM (4x512MB of DDR2/533 DIMMS)
2 seperate 200GB SATA 7200 RPM hard drives
16x DVD-ROM drive
16x Dual Layer DVD±R/±RW Drive
nVidia GeForce 6600 PCIe 256MB video card
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card
7-in-1 media card reader
Windows XP Professional w/SP2
ViewSonic 2012wb 20" widescreen LCD monitor
Logitech X-530 5.1 surround sound speakers
Logitech wireless keyboard and optical mouse set
Epson Stylus C-60 printer (okay, not that good, I admit, but for less than $60 it gets the job done!)

Also, connected (through MIDI, USB, and analog audio line-ins) to my computer is my Korg Triton Extreme (88-key), which does practically everything except massage your feet. And I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 212Pro headphones, which I mostly use when at LAN parties.

Games I have installed include: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Black & White 2, GTA San Andreas, FEAR, StarCraft, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and CounterStrike.

Oh, and I decided to take some pics, in case anyone's interested.

RE: Gaming Machine [Your PC Specs]

If I had the money and the time (money mostly I'd build a lot more, but unfortunately all I have is one computer since I sold that damned Mac Mini I bought.

Windows XP
P4 3GHz Northwood
Gigabyte GA-8IK1100
1 GB Corsair XMS3200 RAM
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 + 160 GB
Maxtor ???? 10 GB (scratch disk for Photoshop)
32 MB Matrox Millenium G450
Integrated sound
Osprey 210 Capture Card
NZXT Trinity Case (sexy!)
Samsung 910T 19" LCD Display

I've had quite few components fail: two HDD's, an expensive ass graphics card ($400+) that lasted literally one year and one week and was out of warrenty, now my capture card is acting funny, not to mention my Seagate drive giving weird blips. I'm updating this bitch with one of those Core2 Duo's, and this time I'm splurging on hard drive space and ram and less on the graphics card as I've had nothing but problems with those.... except my G450, it's been purring ever since I got it over eight years ago. I'll keep her around as a back-up, though I dunno once I get Vista if it'll work even if it has the classic mode? We'll see.

BTW I don't game on the PC this is my only PC. It's kinda suited for all-round tasks, though when I had the faster graphics card and faster scratch disk it ripped through anything I fed Photoshop, even with CS2 and high resolution drawings. This setup suited my needs perfectly well for the price I paid for the components (except that !@#$ing graphics card). Time to move on though.

RE: Gaming Machine [Your PC Specs]

Hmm, comp stats eh? Well, here's mine:

Motherboard: MSI PM8M3-V Motherboard (Updated June 3rd)
CPU: Intel Celeron D 360 3.46Ghz (64-bit, W00t!) (Updated June 3rd)
Videocard: MSI GeForce NX6200AX 128MB
Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster Live! OEM (5.1 Surround Sound)
RAM: Ultra 512MB PC3200 DDR (Sure, it's not Kingston, but eh, came with the board and CPU)
OS: Gentoo Linux with custom 2.6.20-gentoo-r6 Kernel
hda: Maxtor 6L040J2 (40GB) (Boot, Swap and / partitions)
hdc: LG GSA-4165B Super-Multi DVD Drive (Supports too many formats and speeds to list. Region-free hacked too. ^_^)

Gamepad: Logitech Wingman Cordless Rumblepad (Updated June 3rd)
Monitor: NEC MultiSync FE700 17″

TV-card: Avermedia AVerTV GO 007 FM
Case: Ultra Wizard Mid-Tower ATX Case
PSU: Powmax 6100C 300-watt
Speakers: Logitech X-530 5.1 Surround Sound

I think that's it...

Yes, I use Linux, and yes, this is a gaming comp. Wine and Cedega work quite well thank you very much. Also, being able to play WarCraft II and StarCraft in a window is alot better than fullscreen. Plus, alot of the PC games I do play are old-school anyway. Also, I'm not running this sucker in 64-bit mode right now. Gonna wait till I can get another 512MB DIMM, or a 1GB DIMM, depends on the prices when I finally get the money.

I'm still n00b when it comes to stuff, but all I know that I have:

60GB HDD
766MB RAM (512+256)
3.2GHz Processor Speed
128MB Graphics Card with T&L Support (GeForce FX 5200)

[Jd1680a]

RE: Gaming Machine [Your PC Specs]

my computers specs are
p4 3.0ghz
1 gb ddr sdram 400mhz
250 gb hard drive
256mb geforce 6800 gto
24 bit sound card
17 inch dell monitor
o my computer is a dell, which ive bought almost two years ago from now.

my next computer will be from www.cyberpowerpc.com or www.ibuypower.com. both these companies sell really good computers for very low prices.

i am a hardcore gamer, love playing games on my pc so i need lots of horsepower to be able to run them quickly. ive played both oblivion and titan quest at maximum settings and my computer still could them smoothly. FEAR is the only game yet I couldnt run at maximum settings, it would lag extremely bad.

next year ill get my new computer. for right now im waiting for vista and directx10 video cards. so anyone thinking about getting a pc to play games. dont yet, wait for another six months.

 

[Zippo]

I have since upgraded my machine, im quite happy with it, check it out!

MSI motherboard (from before PCI-E) with nVidia nForce chipset
AMD Athlon XP CPU running at 2.1GHz

SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer sound card with Live!Drive front-panel audio...thingy (RCA input, Optical in/out, 1/4" headphone & mic jacks, SPDIF in/out, MIDI in/out)
CD-RW drive
DVD-ROM drive

Peripherals, etc.:

Altec-Lansing 5.1 surround speakers (running in 2.1 mode)
7-port USB hub (since I have no front-panel USB ports)
1GB USB flash drive
Microsoft Sidewinder ForceFeedback 2 joystick

And, oh yeah, I'm still on dial-up internet service...and to top it off, my 56k modem has been refusing to connect at anything better than like 24k for the last two days...

[WelcomeTheCollapse]

'S not really a gaming rig, but it runs most games at high quality at a solid 30fps. It's a laptop, actually:

MacBook Pro, 15.4" 16:10
2.14 or so GHz Intel Core Duo
1GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600.
100GB HD
8x (I believe) Superdrive

I'm not getting a workstation until after college. This put a big enough dent in my account.
