TouringBubble came by to help(do it for) me

8 GB of DDR2 RAM
AMD 9200 Quad core 2.3ghz processor
1 TB 7200RPM HD 4.16 latency

Matt started with the MoBo, RAM, USB card reader, and HD

Super heatsinked RAM

Tiny little 120mm Zalman CPU Processor heatsink

Next was the CD/DL-DVDr/w and vidcard combo


Plenty of clearance in the monster Lian-Li case

Power supply should be here today its a Kingwin 730w XFire ready.

Geek

He is NOT a geek, he had to have someone put it together for him

[Erv]

yup, i am not a geek

[Jedi1]

oh no, he's a geek. Anyone with 8 gigs of ram has to be a geek. This basically means that he will be running Vista or just not taking advantage of all that ram with XP. You have to be a complete geek bordering on nerd to run Vista in what is without a doubt a "gaming" rig. So from this point on Ervin will be either a neek or a gerd.

64-bit

Vista

I have an Antec nine hundred series gaming case with an old AMD Athlon 1.8 Gig processor overclocked to a 2.2 Gig with 1.3 gigs of DDR RAM, does that make me a nerd?

I have an Atari ...... and an Apple IIc w/128K Ram. Run your own "Lemonade Stand" business- mono chrome monitor, though


Ervin, is that one or more Flux Capacitors in there ???

You have no use for 8gigs of ram. What you need to do, is get another gpu and sli that shit together.

and for gods sake matt, get a sound card. What is with you people and not buying sound cards, they're 30 dollars..

I'll see your Apple IIc and raise you a Microace with 2k of memory. And yes I think it still works.

There are museums that will pay good money for those units...

I have an Amiga1000 no idea the specs, but, it doesn't have an OS besides DOS if that gives you an idea

Pay attention Cholewa ... he's got 2 GPUs in there set up for CrossFire X. It's an AMD setup, so no SLI here.

Why does he need to waste $30 on a low end sound card that isn't as good as what is on-board? It's got 8 channel HD audio on board.

And, FWIW, I specced the machine for 4gb RAM. He just ordered the other 4gb on his own ... lol. And he'll run XP Pro 64, so he can use the RAM.
