Gee, lets compare my friend's AMD Athlon 700 with a 32MB GF2 DDR and 128RAM on an Abit mobo to someone Celeron 700, intel i810 integrated (shared) video card and 64 RAM on some noname board..... which one do YOU think will run better? those components make ALL the difference. > I dont think it matters much what the brand of the machine is (as > long as the warranty is real good, and the parts insite are good), but it > does matter what motherboard and video card it has in it. yes. you're coming across stupid, but yes. > If you are a > real serious gamer, or want to be, you need a real kick arse video card with > 32 megs or more on it, perferably 64 megs. 32 MB is fine... 64 is STILL overkill. (unless its a V5, then you're only getting about 45 MB RAM) > ram and prosessor speeeds > (sheldoncue help me if im wrong) dont matter too much playing the new > bitchen 3D games. are you on freaking CRACK????? RAM and CPU MAKE ALL the freaking differ3ence in the world einstein! when I upgraded my system to an AMD TBird 800 @ 1GHz (i like OCing) and 128MB PC 133 RAM I got my 16MB TNT 1 video card (crap) to run games at 40-80 FPS @ 1024x768 thanks to the brute force of the processor. and if you think RAM makes no difference, compare a game running on 32 to 64 to 128. You'll SEE the difference. BTW: did I mention you're smoking dope? > have fun and frag safe > throttlejunkee build it
