    What is your portal to Spurtalk?

    I'm currently running a 2.4 GHz aluminum iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with a 500GB 5400RPM HD, 2GB DDR2 667 RAM, 24x/8x DL CD/DVD SuperDrive, and ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics w/ 128 MB VRAM.

    I also tote around an HP Portable - Livestrong Series AMD Turion 64, 100GB 5400 HD, 1GB DDR2 333 RAM, 12x/8x Lightscribe Burner, and something ATI Radeon, wanna say it might also be the 2400.

    I've also got oldschool Gateway that is currently trying to run Vista, but I'm pretty sure trying is they keyword on that. Need to put it back to XP, which ran fine (naturally). I also tried to mod this thing to run OS X 10.3, but it didn't take to the install.

    Usually post here on and old laptop. Dell Inspiron Pentium III, 700 mhz CD-ROM, nvidia geforce 2 go 512 mb ram

    My desktop is a Athlon XP 3200, 2gb ram, random hdds, ati radeon x1600 with 22" widescreen lcd monitor

    Have a server too. Dell PowerEdge, Pentium III, two 700 mhz processors, 3 gb ram, 2 150 gb 15,000 rpm hdds and 2 70 gb 15,000 rpm hdds.

    Nothing is even close to top of the line other than the server's hard disks but they run anything not named Crysis.

    Since I don't game on PC (except for NES, SNES, and MAME emulation), I built a pretty tame system last year:

    Athlon64x2 @ 2 GHz CPU
    ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard (one of the few cheap ones I could find with 2 IDE channels)
    2 500GB SATA, a 250 GB IDE, and a 150 GB IDE hard drive
    1GB Corsair RAM (can't remember the timings)
    Video/sound is integrated

    Use XP Pro and 64-bit Gentoo as my operating systems

    Yeah, so far leemajors has the computer most likely to launch some War Games.



    Those Duo Core Macbooks are sweet, too. I think my next computer splurge might have to be for a MBP.

    I honestly can't tell the difference between soundcard quality and most people can't either. A friend of mine had pretty much the same rig with a lesser video card and badass soundcard and yeah I didn't hear the $200 difference

    their driver fiasco with Vista was what I was referring to - they never worked as well as they should, and they tried to sue some dude who wrote his own to help people out when he developed a fix for what they couldn't figure out. they later dropped it, but it was still bizarre.

    http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/0...ve-fixing.html

    Creative Labs, makers of sound cards that still don't work properly with Windows Vista, doesn't want fixed versions of its broken drivers on the net.

    In a message to "Daniel_K," who repaired their broken software, Creative Labs' Phil O'Shaughnessy claims that by restoring functionality to Vista drivers that are offered in Windows XP versions, he is a thief.

    "By enabling our technology and IP to run on sound cards for which it was not originally offered or intended, you are in effect, stealing our goods," writes O'Shaughnessy at Creative's forums.

    Granted, Daniel_K is soliciting donations. Furthermore, the gear's end-user license agreement specifies, as is usual, that you can't tamper with its software. But why would a company set out to prevent people from helping one another fix problems in hardware it's already sold them?

    The answer is the sad one you've probably learned to expect: O'Shaughnessy admits that Creative Labs intentionally crippled its Vista drivers as a business strategy.

    "If we choose to develop and provide host-based processing features with certain sound cards and not others, that is a business decision that only we have the right to make."

    I believe that has a Radeon X1200, which isn't much.

    You can game on it but nothing hard core, you'll be using low resoutions and such...
