W)00T! New computer!

Postby amnion » Fri Oct 14, 2005 3:11 pm

I finally got to upgrade.
I got the k8we with 2 opteron 254's (2.8Ghz)
and a 7800GTX OC by BFG + 4 GB of RAM.
I hope this is enough to play BF2. :)
:beer:
Before the flames start, yes I know BF2 is n't multithreaded, but I do other things with my computer, like run FreeBSD/Linux, and use Windows for other things that take advantage of dual procs.

4G of RAM!? That is huge. I run BF2 with 1G. I hear 2G can improve gameplay. I bet the 7800 will be great.

Nice rig. Components that powerful will probably cause all the lights in your town to dim slightly when you fire up your computer! :lol:

Uh.. damn. I wish I had HALF the cash you laid out for that. How much was it anyway? If you don't mind my asking.. round figures if it's easier to say.

Well I finally got BF2 on it. It looks like a movie! wow. 3d Mark is 8265. I think that's fine, but I guess I could get better? I don't know. It rocks, so I don't really care what my 3d mark is at the moment. I'm running 2003 server for now, just to test, I'll be loading XP SP2 soon. I also tortured the heck out of it with memtest86 and looping burn in tests from Sandra and now 3d Demos for Nvidia, not a single hickup or lockup, this is my first really super stable rig. Anyhow, yeah I spent a bit, but I hope to not have to update for a while.
I'll get a picture soon, right now its laid out on a dinner table, bare to the world, just MB, harddrive, cd-rom, and cards plugged in. As far as price, well look on newegg for a wishlist call neo's new clothes.

That is about 3.5 times MORE than what I built my new pc for about 5 months ago. Mine is decent... but damn.. I feel a might green for some reason. LOL
