LOL

must be bait !

No really!

if it's better than your old one then the pledge still counts as it is an upgrade

It will be better than his old one, that is a certainty.

You'll be surprised to know that...

It cost less than my laptop including a monitor.

It's a downgrade when compared to my last system, especially in the graphics area.

computer ---> nothing = downgrade

nothing ---> computer = upgrade

:>

It balances out because my life has had a big downgrade since having a PC.

CHEATING THE SYSTEM.

Please forgive.

YOU LIED TO US!

but but...the server fund! D:

Pics and specs?

Cryptic pic...



And now you find out why (if you look close enough) it isn't as good as my last system...



But then, the system was built for one thing and one thing only...

Running XP?

Told

In my haste to obtain 7 I only downloaded the 32bit version from Technet. I don't have access to that Technet account for the moment and thought that I would just run with XP for a month or so for the speed, even though I am unable to use more than half of my RAM.

So.... SPECS?

OK, here's the spec...

Processor is a Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition running at 3.4GHz.
Memory is 8GB of OCZ Obsidian DDR3 at 1600MHz, standard latencies of 9-9-9-24 or something mediocre like that.
Graphics is a Radeon 5770, for now...
Hard drive... just one Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB drive.
The motherboard is the Asus Crosshair III.
Power supply is Tagan 1100W modular (overkill, but room for expansion).
Reused the old case, Lian-Li PC-P80, kept all the screws and bits in a little bag, all cool.
Monitor is Dell G2410 LED backlit 24 incher, as you can see.

And it runs EverQuest 2 beautifully in case you are interested!

Oh and it was a record build time...
Got to work at 7am, case was delivered by my brother at 7:15am. The whole system was 100% up and running by 8:30am.

thats a better spec than my computer and this is a "downgrade" for you D:

Yeah, I only got it so I could play EverQuest 2 and PvP properly without lagging my group in to aggro mobs and killing them.

The 5770 is a temporary measure because of the 5870 availability issues.

So basically, you've built one of the best computers on the forums and consider it not very good?

Basically

PLEDGE.
NOW.

Is that 4 X 2 gb? Also are you actually running the memory at 1600mhz, because if your not over clocking the cpu you could reduce the mem speed down to 1333mhz and use better timings. As there won't be any performance increase from 1333 to 1600. Then again it's been a while since I used any amd processor, so I could be wrong but the default "bus" speed (forget the amd equivalent name) is 1333.

Also, you owe techious ALOT
