Wheeeeeeeee!Follow

My new computer just arrived. I ordered it a few days ago and wasnt expecting it until next week minimum, but all the shiny new pieces are sitting on my livingroom floor all boxed up, waiting to be lovingly put together.

I know barely anything about specs, but I do know I got 4gigs of memory, and 256MB Nvidia graphics card. Oh, it's a Dell


Im hoping that by tonight/tomorrow I can try out playing my games and record while raiding with my new toy.

not for another few months. I have to get my kicks in other ways

Between the Mr and I we have 3 accounts for EQ2. he has the same PC as the one I bought, I just got the newest graphics card and I think one more gig of mem. Hes been able to twobox with ease while raiding. Im hoping I can retake over my fury and two box better. That and stop raiding in the worst graphic setting possible

Nice DSD. I thought I would be buying a computer with the extra $2000 I was crowing about, but I'm using the money for 4 paralegal classes for my career. /jealous

I bought mine, sans the 4gig RAM, for $1500 financed 0 interest for 18 months.
You just need to get your priorities straight.

Most women crave stuff like peanutbutter and salmon sammiches on pumpernickel or something.

Geek women?

They crave new computers. At least it wasn't a weird craving and she bought something silly like a Mac so she could play the mac version of EQ.

I intend to build a godlike Shuttle system when I've raised around 2 grand. You're making me extremely envious.

Gratz on the new machine DSD! I just bought a new one yesterday myself. Should arrive in a couple weeks after they build it. Shouldn't need a new one for quite some time, I hope!

I do, and it has 2G of mem. But for some reason no matter how well I continue to upgrade it, it can not handle the raiding abilities in EQ2. It still works great for everything else, but seeing as I love to record our raids and can no longer do that without lag and it looking like crap, it was time for a serious overhaul. Besides the Alienwares are loud!

Nice I always wanted a XPS.

wrong thread or old age catching up there?

Crossfire is not nearly as fast as SLI.

I was wondering where that post went!

Obviously was intended for the "car through the 'drive thru'" thread when I posted it yesterday
